Published on September 22, 2019, Deputy President William Ruto has been trying to convince Kenyans that he's just a normal guy, but his efforts often backfire.
When you're in power, doing everyday things like walking, eating, or laughing can be seen as out of the norm. Ruto has attempted to show Kenyans that he's just like them, but it's hard to believe.
Below are 7 times Ruto tried to prove he's a hustler:
1. Paying Ksh1,000 for mahindi choma ¶
It's hard to believe that the Deputy President would pay such a small amount for a meal, but Ruto has been trying to show Kenyans that he's down-to-earth.
2. Greeting a young girl ¶
Stopping to greet a young girl may seem like a normal thing to do, but for Ruto, it's a way to show Kenyans that he's approachable.
3. Enjoying a drink ¶
Even the kid in the background noticed Ruto's enthusiasm for his drink, but it's hard to tell if he was really enjoying it.
4. Having 'nyama choma and kachumbari' with a friend ¶
Despite owning a 4-Star Hotel, Ruto opted for a more casual meal with a friend, but it's clear he wasn't enjoying himself.
5. Visiting the slums with Jaguar ¶
Going to the slums with Jaguar may seem like a way to show Ruto's commitment to helping the less fortunate, but it's hard to tell if he was really making a difference.
6. Having a meal at a kibanda ¶
Despite owning a 4-Star Hotel, Ruto chose to have a meal at a kibanda, but it's clear he was trying to make a statement.
7. Meeting a fan who had no idea who he was ¶
It's hard to believe that someone wouldn't recognize the Deputy President, but Ruto's attempts to prove he's a normal guy often fall flat.
