Let’s give Ruto an opportunity to prove himself – Huddah Monroe modifies his song

Socialite Huddah Monroe has shifted her stance, now expressing support for President William Ruto, months after branding him as the worst president Kenya has ever had.

On her Instagram stories, Huddah encouraged Kenyans to give Mr Ruto an opportunity to prove himself, especially in light of the recent decline in the dollar against the shilling.

With the shilling currently trading at Sh144, and some banks selling it as low as Sh139 for the US dollar last week, Huddah conveyed gratitude to President Ruto, urging people to celebrate the positive developments.

She posted, “Good morning beautiful people. I wanna thank God for life. And our President for whatever he did! This dollar rate is making me scream!!! I love you Mr Prezzo; may the Lord take him to Sh90/ one dollar. Sometimes let’s celebrate the small wins. We can’t always be complaining and expect change to happen. Let’s give Mr R the chance to redeem himself. From 167 TO 148 isn’t a joke on forex. It makes a huge difference!”

According to data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), the shilling was stronger on Friday, trading at an average of Sh145.86 to the dollar, compared to Thursday’s opening average rate of Sh153.20 against the dollar.

This shift in Huddah’s perspective contrasts with her controversial remarks in September last year, where she declared, “Ruto will be the worst president Kenya has ever seen.” She further commented, “Lesson learnt, never give the son of a poor man the presidential seat,” referring to President Ruto’s humble background. Additionally, she expressed concerns about the country’s economic future, stating, “Kenya is going back 30 years… The worst is yet to come.”
