DAILY POST: Here is what UHURU said after his Deputy, WILLIAM RUTO, graduated with a PhD from University of Nairobi - Nobody knew this secret!! 06:08
Friday December 21, 2018 - President Uhuru Kenyatta was among thousands of Kenyans who attended the 60th graduation of University of Nairobi where his deputy, William Ruto, was conferred with Doctorate in Philosophy (PhD) in Plant Ecology. Ruto has Bachelor's Degree in Botany and Zoology and a Master's Degree in Plant Ecology from the same university. In 2012, he decided to take his academic level to new heights and enrolled for PhD in Plant Ecology. However, in 2016 he failed to graduate after missing out on set requirements by his Professor. But on Friday, Ruto became among few Kenyans who have a Doctorate in Plant Ecology. Addressing the public during the graduation, Uhuru congratulated his deputy saying all along he thought he was running from work but at last he has seen he was dedicating his time to studies. “Congratulations William now I can see where you have been hiding. You know I used to think he was cheating me when he used to run away from work but now he can justify he was actually doing research,” Uhuru said.
