During a youth engagement forum at State House, Nairobi on Saturday, August 9, a Kenyan youth delivered a prayer in Shembeteng, an urban slang, surprising the audience and the President.

• The youth requested a boda boda (motorcycle) from President Ruto, which the President agreed to provide.
• The Shembeteng language, originating from Sheng, involves twisting phonetics and reversing syllables, and is gaining national recognition.
• The event was part of an empowerment forum where President Ruto distributed items like boda bodas, washing machines, and barber sets to youths.
