President William Ruto will on Monday evening host his first Iftar dinner.
State House press secretary Emmanuel Talam confirmed to the Star that the dinner will be attended by state officials, different mosques in Nairobi and representatives of associations across the country.
Last week on Tuesday Ruto, his Deputy Rigathi Gachagua and Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja joined the Muslim faithful for Iftar organised by the Eastleigh Business District Association.
The event took place at KICC.
At the same time, First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto last Saturday hosted Muslim women at State House in Nairobi for Iftar, the fast-breaking evening meal during Ramadan.
Iftar is usually their second meal of the day after Suhur, the pre-dawn meal.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
Muslims across the world observe it through fasting, prayer, reflection and community networking.
Currently, Muslims are on day 26 of the holy month, which means the period is almost ending.
The end of Ramadan month is marked by Eid-al-Fitr when people break their fast and celebrate with a feast.
