DP Willian Ruto denied his new posh home was worth 1.2 billion…But the man-made lake on his compound now betrays him (Photos)

The Star newspaper first wrote about William Ruto’s Ksh 1.2 billion house in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County on October 21^st 2016.

The daily said that Ruto’s palatial residence sat on a 20-acre parcel of land the DP bought in Moiben constituency.

Outraged by the Star’s story, Ruto responded saying that the daily inflated the figure. The DP clearly said only a fool would take Ksh 1.2 billion to the village to build a house.

Less than three months after Ruto watered down the Star’s story, new photos that reveal the colossal scale of the DP’s stylishly luxurious home have emerged.

The photos were shared on social media by blogger Robert Alai on December 31^st 2016.While the Star had only reported that Ruto’s home had two swimming pools, a library, gym, a guest wing among other common facilities, the photos shared by Alai show the DP’s home also has a man-made lake and a helipad.

And by judging from the lavish facilities available at the DP’s home, the Star could be right about the Ksh 1.2 billion figure.
