Deputy President William Ruto held a church service inside his home following the government's crackdown to curb the spread of Covid-19.

In a post he shared on Facebook, the DP is seen relishing the moment in the company of six of his closely-knit family.

"As we continue the fight against the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, we pray for those who have lost their loved ones and commit to God those that are infected.

"We pray for our medical workers who are in the frontline in tackling the outbreak. We have faith that we will win this battle soon and our country will return to normalcy," stated the DP.

In the photos, different members take turns at the podium to deliver the sermon. The event was attended by the DP, his wife, Rachel Ruto, and their children including Nick Ruto.

Ruto unveiled the spectacular church in his residence in August 2019 in a ceremony that was attended by Reverend Teresa Wairimu, Bishop Mark Kariuki, KFCB CEO, Ezekiel Mutua, Citizen TV's Victoria Rubadiri and Joe Ageyo among others.

Construction began as early as August 22, 2018, when DP Ruto laid the foundation stone for the church. 

Ruto's family was also prayed for by the host of religious leaders that were in attendance at the time.

The DP has established himself as a man after God's own heart, with the trips he made to churches across the country and donated huge sums of money.

His wife is also known as a convener of religious gatherings meant to pray for the country.
