President William Ruto is not poor, that is definitely not in doubt.To say President Ruto, the self-proclaimed ‘hustler’ who used to sell kuku kienyeji at Kambi Kuku market along the busy Eldoret- Malaba Highway is swimming in money, could be an understatement if photos of an alleged property he is building are anything to go by.
Away from politics, President William Ruto runs an impressive farm in his rural Sugoi home. Ruto previously allowed cameras into his home in 2014 during an interview with K24.
Ruto said that he grew up around 10 kilometres from where he bought the land on which he settled. The head of state noted that the land had only three trees when he purchased it before planting 150,000 seedlings. Ruto’s Sugoi home boasts a modern chicken house with thousands of birds which he said his wife Rachel bought from India.
Social media has been awash with aerial photos of a multimillion exclusive housing project in Moiben, Uasin Gishu County that Ruto allegedly owns.
The building, a plush, multi-million-shilling residence in Eldoret town, has a complete private airstrip.Aerial photos show the home has a main house with a gazebo right in front of it.
It also has an artificial lake in the middle of the compound and six other houses at the front.
The stately home sits on an estimated 20 acres, part of 700 Ruto bought in Moiben constituency in 2015.The house features sixteen bedrooms, a gym, and various more places where he can hide if he spies an enemy
The land was part of the 6,000-acre Jagir Farm, known locally as Kapkochir, whose owner was an Asian businessman.
