President William Ruto on Sunday held an Interdenominational service at Sagana State Lodge.
This is the first time since he was sworn in as President on September 13, 2023 to be at the State Lodge.
He was accompanied by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his wife Dorcas Gachagua.
Other leaders who attended the service are Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, Majority Leader Kimani Ichungw'ah among others.
State lodges are places used by the President of Kenya for official and private functions.
They are a symbol of the power and prestige of the Kenyan government and are located in scenic and secluded areas.
Equipped with state-of-the-art security features, State lodges offer a variety of amenities, including swimming pools, tennis courts, and golf courses.
Besides Kisii, the others are in Eldoret, Kisumu and Kakamega, with the Sagana one being the most used.
Initially, Sagana was a royal residence of the British monarchy, considered among the gifts that Kenya had bestowed the late Queen Elizabeth following her wedding to Prince Philip.
However, when Kenya gained independence in December 1963, the late Queen handed the lodge back to the Kenyan government.
Sagana has had a rich history with Kenya’s last three Presidents.
