Deputy President William Ruto has responded to claims of neglecting his 11-year-old daughter.
In a post on his Twitter account, the DP said the child is well catered for and criticised politicians for spreading the propaganda.
“My 11-year-old child Abby is well catered for including her education in private boarding school. Politicians and busybodies should keep off,” read the tweet.
This comes after a woman identified as Priscah Chemutai, on Thursday moved to court seeking child support from the DP.
In the court papers filed by her Lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, the woman claims she met Ruto in 2005 while she was a student at Moi University, before giving birth to her daughter on March 6, 2006 at Mediheal Hospital.
Chumatai accused Ruto of neglecting their daughter after becoming the DP.
“Since becoming the Deputy President the defendant stopped sending us money [unless] he is threatened with court, and when he does send any money the payment is irregular and inadequate and hence the necessity of these proceedings,” argued the petitioner.
