This week Muslims in Nairobi hosted President William Ruto and Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua among other leaders for Iftar at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre.

This is even as fish farmers in Dunga Beach Kisumu experienced a rough week after fish worth millions mysteriously died in cages.

As all this happened, Kenyans braved the heavy downpour on Friday to attend to their daily businesses.

And a great Easter for an orphaned baby elephant after it was rescued by the Kenya Wildlife Service team in Eselenkei, on the border of Amboseli National Park.

Here are some of the photos that caught Kenyans' eye:
