On November 27, 2019, a video capturing one moment during the launch of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report went viral on social media.
The video, shared by KTN news anchor Lindah Oguttu, showed President Uhuru Kenyatta almost falling off his seat with laughter, while his deputy William Ruto maintained a stoic expression.
As the president rocked in his seat with laughter, Ruto's facial expression remained blank, leaving many to wonder what was so funny.
Netizens took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the incident, with some questioning whether Ruto was seeing the same thing as the president.
Others speculated that Ruto might have been 'boxed in' or not getting the joke.
The video has sparked a lively debate on social media, with many Kenyans sharing their thoughts on the incident.

The look on WSR – what’s so funny?! Ok, let this BBI manenos sink in first… — Danson Maina (@Githumbimaina) November 27, 2019
This doesn’t look good. One is extremely amused the other is extremely vexed. This ought not to play in public. I wish I could sympathise with Ruto, but it is not possible. — Daniel Ogweno (The Student of Christ Jesus) (@OgwenoDaniel) November 27, 2019
