A woman from Etago has gained widespread attention after hosting President William Ruto and his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, at her home, where she served them tea and bananas. The visit, which was highlighted across various media platforms, has sparked a significant conversation among Kenyans, with reactions ranging from admiration to skepticism.
The gesture of the President and his deputy visiting an ordinary Kenyan’s home has been portrayed by some as a sign of humility and a connection with the common citizen. The images of the President enjoying a simple meal of tea and bananas with the woman have been widely shared, and for some, it represents a leader who is in touch with the realities of his people.
However, not all Kenyans are convinced. Many have taken to social media to express their doubts, accusing the President of staging the event as a public relations stunt. Critics argue that such displays of humility are superficial and do not address the pressing issues facing the country, such as the high cost of living and widespread poverty. They have urged the President to focus on delivering tangible results rather than engaging in what they perceive as performative acts.
The debate reflects the broader tension in Kenyan society, where citizens are increasingly demanding authenticity and action from their leaders, rather than symbolic gestures.
