In another related story, TUKO.co.ke reported that President William Ruto was back at his rural Sugoi home for this year's Christmas celebrations.
As early as 4am, Kenyans drawn from Uasin Gishu and the neighbouring Kakamega and Nandi counties jammed roads as goodies were offloaded from several lorries.
The president actively participated in the exercise as he handed the residents packets of wheat flour, cooking oil, and rice in a yellow bag.
Ruto was accompanied by Mama Rachel Ruto, who kicked off the event with a powerful prayer.
Other leaders present at the event included Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja and Uasin Gishu governor Jonathan Bii, among others.
What William Ruto told his Uasin Gishu visitors
Some of the residents explained that the head of state has been consistent in the exercise, but this year has attracted a huge following.
In his address, the head of state said his government would continue to reform the agricultural sector to increase food production.
Ruto claimed his latest reforms had resulted in a 40% increase in food production this year compared to 2022.
The president thanked farmers for taking advantage of the subsidised fertiliser, adding that the fruits of the programme would benefit the country's food security.
