- President William Ruto’s son, George Ruto, has launched a thinly veiled
attack at children of former Kenyan presidents, accusing them of being aloof
and detached from ordinary citizens.
Despite his privileged background, George has often been
spotted mingling with locals and engaging in ventures that resonate with
everyday Kenyans.
“Because I am a son
of the President, it doesn’t mean that I should sit and sleep the whole day in
the State House like the others have been doing.”
“Let me use the opportunity I have right now to help where I
can,” he said.
George, a trained pilot, explained that his investments are
guided by passion rather than luxury.
He highlighted his involvement in the matatu business and
football initiatives, saying they reflect his desire to uplift young people.
“When I started my matatu business, went to football space
and all these different things that people didn’t expect, they started asking
why I was doing all that yet my father is the President.”
“What I can tell the people is that I got passion for all
these.”
“I really want to touch the lives of these young people.”
“I have the capability, God has given us grace and
resources, and people who can help us do it, why not do it?” he posed.
While George maintains his efforts are driven by community
passion, political analysts argue his grassroots involvement signals a
calculated move to position himself for a future political role.
