An elderly woman living with disability in Wajir had just that coveted opportunity when DP Ruto came calling.

In a Facebook post by Dennis Itumbi, the lady, who is swaddled in green cloth, is seen conversing with Dr Ruto while holding his hands.

It is not clear from Itumbi's post what was the nature of the discussion or for how long it lasted.

Dr Ruto has over the years cultivated a reputation for interacting freely with ordinary people sometimes to the discomfort of his elaborate security detail.

From the face of the lady, it was clear that it was a moment she will cherish for the rest of her life and relate to her grandchildren.

The DP had joined other Northern Kenya leaders in a funds drive where more than Sh60 million was raised.

His presence in Wajir is seen by political pundits as aimed at bolstering his political prospects by endearing himself to the Somalis.

Early this year, Ruto he graced another fundraiser in Garissa County where millions of shillings were raised.

The cash collected will go towards funding Islamic education institutions and anti-radicalisation programs.
