His 1972’s photo however sparked curiosity from netizens who cheekingly asked his to reveal whether he was wearing shoes while this photo was captured.
The curiosity was instigated by Deputy President William Ruto’s statement on Thursday during the National Prayer Breakfast, where he revealed that he bought his first pair of shoes in 1980s.
Making reference to the DP’s revelation, netizens wanted to find out whether the “walking constitution” as he is informally referred to, also had shoes in the ’70s.
Here are some of Kenyans reactions:
Confirm you had shoes hahah😂😂😂
