President Ruto Steps Away from Politics to Tend Livestock at Kilgoris Farm
NAIROBI, Kenya — President William Ruto has drawn widespread public attention after taking a brief step back from political activities to focus on his personal agricultural ventures.
In recent images shared online, the Head of State was seen at his expansive farm in Kilgoris, Narok County, personally feeding grass to a young calf.
Dressed down in practical farming gear, the President appeared relaxed as he inspected his cattle, offering a rare glimpse of his life away from statecraft and high-stakes political debates.
For many Kenyans, Ruto’s hands-on approach to agriculture comes as no surprise. Long before ascending to the presidency, he actively engaged in farming and was widely known for running a large-scale poultry enterprise in Sugoi, near Eldoret.
