William Ruto’s Kes 1.2 billion home in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County has always sparked debate whenever it’s mentioned.
The DP denies his hacienda is worth 1.2 billion shillings. Ruto accused a local daily of inflating the figure when news about his home first emerged.
Ruto’s palatial home sits on a 20-acre parcel of land which he bought in Moiben constituency. Construction is yet to be completed but the scale of the project surely justifies the 1.2 billion price tag.

Flamboyant lawyer Donald Kipkorir has openly stated why he ditched his friend Uhuru Kenyatta in favor of a Raila Odinga presidency.
Kipkorir, a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto, stated that both Uhuru and Raila are sons of Kenya’s founding fathers but clarified that he will be voting for Raila because he wants to show that Kenya can still prosper without either a Kikuyu or Kalenjin president.
Donald Kipkorir and William Ruto
“Why I Am Voting Raila
“Most Kenyan votes vote along tribal lines without any debate, and I don’t begrudge. In 2022, I will vote for William Ruto without persuasion. But I will not vote because I hate other tribes or other candidates. I have never harbored any hatred or hate in my breast.
“The Presidential Race is now between two Princelings: Son of Jomo and Son of Jaramogi. Kenya’s two true Royal families. Majority of Kikuyus will vote for Uhuru, and Majority of Luos will vote Raila.
“Other tribes will vote for historical reasons and affiliations.
“Others will cast a negative vote; Voting for one candidate because they hate the other. Negative vote also cuts across the big tribes. Some tribes have been socialized to hate other tribes.
“I want to vote RAO not because of any of the above reasons. I consider both Princelings my friends though our backgrounds are as different as day and night. My vote is purely a mental trip …. I want to show that Kenya without either a Kikuyu or Kalenjin President wouldn’t be hit by an asteroid. And that Luos are just like you and I. When we all cross this mental bridge, we will be like Germany: holding General Elections and a global Marathon same day.”
Deputy President William Ruto decided to deal with popular blogger Cyprian Nyakundi and vocal lawyer Miguna Miguna by blocking them on Twitter.

Twitter bigwig Cyprian Nyakundi was blocked on Sunday September 24th. Nyakundi is known to be very critical of Ruto’s political activities.
Speaking during an interview on KBC on Sunday September 24th, the deputy president explained that he was forced to blog the two critics because they were intruding into his family.
Ruto said he blocked Miguna because he had crossed the line by constantly attacking his family and him, something he doesn’t take lightly.
The DP made it clear that he does not like negative people on his timeline and when he finds someone who consistently cross the line they are blocked. He emphasized that tweeps needed to differentiate between him as a politician and him as a family.

The president’s son left residents shocked when he was called upon to give a vote of thanks in Swahili. He had to use his phone to read a short speech which made him sweat as he was struggling to read the speech.
Muhoho’s inability to speak Swahili fluently and coherently left many people laughing while other criticized him for what they termed as being deeply buried in wealth to even bother to know how to speak the national language.

The Kenyan constitution outlines two people to succeed the president in case he dies while he’s in power. The two people named in line of succession were to travel with President Uhuru in the same Madaraka Express train but security chiefs made sure they didn’t.
In case President Uhuru dies today, William Ruto automatically becomes president. And in the event that both Uhuru and Ruto die, then Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi becomes president.
And if Uhuru, Ruto and Muturi die at ago, then there will be chaos because the constitution is not clear on the line of succession in this event.
This is why security chiefs left nothing to chance when Uhuru, Ruto and Muturu were supposed to be in the same train travelling from Mombasa to Nairobi; they made sure the three were not on the same train.

The Standard reports that Justin Muturi was locked down in parliament building on Wednesday May 31st as he was preparing to leave Nairobi for Mombasa to join President Uhuru to ride the train to Nairobi.
“They told him there was no way he was going to ride that train. They also told him the only time he will leave his office was when his motorcade will be headed to Syokimau. He stayed at Syokimau for several hours waiting to welcome the President and his deputy aboard the train from Mombasa,” Sunday Standard quoted a source who told them about Muturi being locked down at parliament building.

Securing President Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto while travelling on an unarmored train that passed through the jungle was a nightmare for security apparatus.
The Standard says Ruto was flown on one of the choppers that was shadowing the train Uhuru was traveling on, apparently the DP was dropped at every station; Mariakani, Voi, Emali, Mtito Andei at around the same the train arrived to join president Uhuru in inspecting the termini and addressing the public.

The only time Uhuru and Ruto rode on the same train was when the train arrived at Athi River terminus; they two Ruto rode together in the same wagon for a fairly short distance until the train arrived at Syokimau station where Justin Muturi was waiting for them.

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? Matthew 7:3. William Ruto forgot he was also practicing nepotism when he called out Nasa.
While speaking in Kilgoris, Narok County, deputy president William Ruto called out Raila and Kalonzo for fronting their kin as nominees to the East African Legislative Assembly (Eala).
Raila’s brother Oburu Odinga had initially applied for nomination to Eala but later on withdrew his bid while Wiper fronted Kalonzo Musyoka’s son.

“They have been telling us they do not want tribalism, but they fronted their brothers and sons for the Eala positions,” Ruto said while addressing residents in Kilgoris.
Well, Ruto forgot his daughter holds a senior rank at the Kenyan embassy in Rome Italy – The Sunday Nation established that DP Ruto’s daughter June Chepchirchir holds a senior rank of second counselor at the Kenyan embassy in Rome.
The Sunday Nation says that their source at Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed to them that the DP’s daughter quickly rose through the ranks – perhaps someone pulled strings.

Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula also pointed out that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s nephew, Jomo Gecaga, serves in State House as the President’s Private Secretary and his niece Ms Nana Gecaga was recently appointed the Managing Director of the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).
While Jubilee and Nasa are playing the politics of kinship, ordinary Kenyan can’t even afford to buy a packet of maize flour, niokotwe Canada mimi.
Well, the Star has also uncovered interesting details about President Uhuru Kenyatta’s palace which is located next to State House.
The daily established that Uhuru demolished the historic house he inherited from his father to put up a Kes 700 million fortress around Caledonia Estate which has bulletproof windows and special sensors.
Uhuru’s mansion is privately funded but all security features are designed by government experts. Satellite images from Google Maps confirm Uhuru’s new home which shares a fence with State House.

The Google image shows a swimming pool, a helipad on the roof of the upper level and a driveway with a mini roundabout.
The Star says that Uhuru’s property is protected round the clock by GSU officer, apparently construction workers on site are not allowed to enter the premises with their mobile phones to avoid leaking photos of the mansion to the public.
No one outside the construction crew knows the nature of the interior, a concrete wall and high-tech electric fence have concealed the president’s property from the public.
