Rachel Ruto is no stranger to making bold yet elegant fashion statements, but during the state visit of the Dutch royals on March 18, 2025, it wasn’t just her outfit that stood out—it was her shoes. The Kenyan First Lady stepped out in a pair of brown suede block heels adorned with a gold emblem.

Shortly afterwards, the newborns developed complications and were transfered to MTRH.

"My baby had trouble breathing and doctors at the Kakamega General Hospital decided to move us here (MTRH) so that the baby could get the help he needs." Namukhula told the media in a past interview.

MTRH CEO Dr. Wilson Arwasa said five ambulances were used to separately transport the babies, adding that their temperatures were still – however – very low on arrival but were later stabilised.

Medical practitioners who attended to her noted that the smallest of the babies weighed 840 grams at birth, falling way below the average of 3.5kgs.
