Ruto Denies Working on His Cabbage Farm as Uhuru Fights Covid-19

Deputy President William Ruto has refuted claims that he has been busy tending to cabbages at his farm in Sugoi, Uasin Gishu County.

Ruto, through Twitter on Saturday, shared a photo of his expansive cabbage farm and clarified that he has not been there. Ruto instead said he is busy helping President Uhuru fight the coronavirus pandemic.

“H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta, our teams and I are working on practical strategies to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. All options are on our cards. There should be no panic, we will pull through. Let us comply with advisories as reviewed regularly,” wrote Ruto.

He added: “So, I am not tending my Sugoi cabbages shown in the photo below. Ignore the pictures circulating elsewhere.” 

His tweet comes a day after a photo showing a person who looks like DP Ruto tending to cabbages in a farm went viral on social media, eliciting mixed reactions.

Some Kenyans online said this was the reason why DP Ruto has been conspicuously missing since Kenya recorded its first Covid-19 case last month.

Kenya has so far recorded 126 infections, four deaths, and four recoveries.

Kenyans need food than Covid-19.
Kenyans are hungry. We need Kenyans who will use this time of crisis to help Kenya and Africa at large to break away from depending on the west in terms of food.
The virus of fear is worse than the Covid_19 virus.
We have young energy that should make our own new clothes, shoes, medicine ( our own vaccinations) ,our own food; our own education using local God given languages just as our forefathers did.
We will soon praise God, but this time it will be the God of our forefathers.
Let us all take advantage of
"God's great divide" which is at hand and the God of our forefathers is with us!!

The man is a snake!
1. Grab public land
2. Import seeds and farm equipment duty free
3. Get paid in advance by Kenya prisons and kenya army
4. dictate the price.
