The first lady of Kenya is the title held by the wife of the president of Kenya. While the office has been in existence since independence, it is not in the Constitution of Kenya. This has brought it under fire for having funding despite being unconstitutional.[1] President William Ruto pulled funding from the office after a public outcry. The country's present first lady is Rachel Ruto, wife of President William Ruto, who took office on 13 September 2022.
