William Ruto Delights Kenyans After Spotting Shoes Similar To Azziad, Ababu Namwamba: "Kiatu Ya Serikali"

• William Ruto surprised with his choice of black and white Converse shoes during a visit to the KICC
• The president's black and white Converse rubber shoes drew comparisons to Azziad Nasenya and Ababu Namwamba
• His casual yet stylish outfit, complemented by the Converse shoes, created a buzz on social media

President William Ruto has sparked debate on Twitter after sporting shoes similar to those previously worn by Sports CS Ababu Namwamba and influencer Azziad Nasenya.

During his visit to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Ruto was seen wearing black and white Converse rubber shoes.

Why did Ruto's shoes ignite debate?

His outfit was completed with a light green Polo shirt, white Khaki pants, and a brown cap.

Azziad, known for her fashion sense, had sported the same stylish shoes during her visit to a skyscraper in Dubai.

The gorgeous radio personality later trended when Namwamba was spotted wearing similar shoes.

Namwamba shared numerous photos wearing the same shoes on Wednesday, May 3, in his office, where he hosted a young athlete.

He matched the shoes with dark trousers and a stylish white jacket.

"We picked up Caroline Anyango from the recent secondary schools’ ball games. Within days, this 17-year old form 3 student at St. Cecilia Namenya Girls has gone to Ndola, Zambia and won Kenya bronze medal in Javelin at the Africa Junior Athletics Championships," he captioned the photos in a since-deleted post.

"A gift from the sporting CS. Mambo ni kama hayo."

@jagimwas:

"Izo viatu ni government issued na iyo story iishie hapo."

SUE KAT:

"Who wants to explain to people how fashion works? That just because someone wears something doesn't mean they have the monopoly on wearing it? That it's not just one pair of shoes being passed around to everyone?"

Why did Ruto drive electric car?

As we previously told you, Ruto drove himself around Nairobi city in a tiny electric car as he was heading to KICC.

In a video shared on his social media platforms, Ruto, who had promised to roll out electric boda bodas in Kenya from September 1 as part of the government's efforts to invest in clean and renewable energy, led by example.

He was seen driving the yellow car with ease, and his motorcade was also of electric motorbikes.

"President Ruto leads by example, driving himself to KICC in an electric car and an all-electric motorcade to connect with Africa's Youth on their climate declaration ahead of the Africa Climate Summit tomorrow," State House spokesperson Hussein Mohammed said.
