Deputy President William Ruto is not tending to cabbages at his Sugoi Farm as the country fights the novel COVID-19.
A picture doing rounds on the internet suggested otherwise but according to the “hustler” he was fighting the spread of the virus alongside his boss, president Uhuru Kenyatta.
In a tweet, the DP noted that they were looking for ways to combat the disease that has spread to at least 204 countries.
“HE Uhuru, our teams and I are working on PRACTICAL strategies to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. All OPTIONS are on our cards,” he said.
He also asked Kenyans to comply with government directives like the dusk till dawn curfew.
“So, am NOT tending Sugoi cabbages below. Ignore other pics,” he tweeted.
