Residents of Likuyani village in Kakamega County where Mama Rachel Ruto was born on November 20th, 1968 are proud of her uprising into the office of First Lady. The lucky lady educated to become a teacher is destined for greater possibilities. Rachel Chebet Parents are particularly proud of her resilience.
Village mates and Likuyani Primary School Classmates believe that Mama Rachel is the finest First Lady that Kenya has ever had. She is to them an inspiration despite growing up in a humble background.
Mama Rachel Chebet Parents – father and mother
Who is Ruto’s biological father? Mama Rachel Ruto is the daughter of Mzee Samuel Kimetto, formerly a strict and responsible board treasurer.
On the other hand, Rachel’s mother who died about 20 years ago was a respected woman.
And now, the 88 years old Kimetto lives with his second wife Magdalene Rugut following the tragic death of Rachel’s mother.
Further sources say Mzee Samuel Kimetto, formerly a laborer at a white settler’s farm in Kabenes, acquired land in Likuyani in 1966.
“I raised and educated my children by hawking maize and transporting farm produce from Soi to Eldoret using a bicycle.”

In 1985, the entire family moved to Sugoi where President Ruto was born and raised.
Rachel’s eldest sister Lydia Kimetto Musee is reportedly married to Ezra Kiplagat Musee at the nearby Kamagut village about five kilometers away.
Mrs Rachel, who a fifth is born, completed high school studies at Butere Girls and would eventually meet the youthful Ruto in one of her occasional visits to Kamagut.
Rachel’s matrimonial union easily cemented considering that Ezra Kiplagat Musee was a close friend to William Ruto.
