People from all walks of life flocked churches and entertainment joints to celebrate Christmas.

President William Ruto led the celebrations by asking Kenyans not to allow circumstances dictate their destiny.

"The humbleness of our means can never limit the possibilities of the future. Let us look out for each other, give what we can to those in need, share love and spread joy," he said.
