President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to observe traffic rules as they travel for the long Easter weekend, which begins today with the commemoration of Good Friday.

In a video message, the President extended his Easter wishes to all Kenyans as Christians across the country mark the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. "Happy Easter, everyone," said Ruto. "Please be safe on the roads, and mbarikiwe sana (be blessed).

To all the families, all the friends, and every Kenyan-Happy Easter."
