President William Ruto on Sunday had a church service with a group of religious leaders at State House, Nairobi.

The service brought together evangelical leaders where they prayed and worshipped together.

Ruto had asked the religious leaders to pray for State House as he marks his journey there as the country's head of state.

The prayer for the State House came after the church service had come to an end.

"After this service, there is a part two which may not be as organized as the first session. We will ask 30 or 40 of our senior clergy to pray over this building and this residence, and the offices so that God can give us solutions for this country," Ruto said during the service.

First Lady Rachel Ruto said the prayers will be held regularly every month.
