Deputy President William Ruto’s son, Nick Ruto, had today elders negotiate his bride price in a traditional pre-wedding ceremony known as Koito in Kalenjin Community.
He is the eldest son of the DP and Rachel Ruto and a legal officer by profession. He graduated from the Catholic University Of Eastern Africa, where he pursued a Bachelor’s Degree in Law, LLB.
Nick will be engaged to a lady only identified as Chemtai.
This comes months after Netizens doubted the sexual alignment of Nick after a video capturing him with an Indian man during her 30th birthday emerged on social media. In the video, the Indian man gave Nick a special necklace.
Nick responded to the claims that it was an act of homosexuality, noting that it was a friendly gesture as the Indian man is his best friend.
“Build your circle and celebrate each other. If you can, gift your friends the best you can on their special occasions like Birthdays, Anniversaries, weddings e.t.c.
This will help you understand the value of friendship and comprehend that gifting a friend of the same or Opposite gender does NOT amount to a sexual/erotic relationship. Thank you all for your Birthday wishes and gifts.”
From Litkenya, Congratulations Nick and his wife-to-be, Chemtai.
Here are photos from the ceremony.
