The country's second most powerful man pitched tent at Nyabururu before spending the better part of the day at South Mugirango for a series of fund drives.

But on the way to South Mugirango, Ruto shocked a host of leaders who accompanied him when decided to take breakfast at roadside makeshift hotel, a rare incident with regard to his stature.

A jovial DP was seen cracking jokes with Kisii Governor James Ongwae and Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka.

Interestingly, Ruto is seen comfortable in the unfamiliar territory unlike the other two leaders, a move that elicited sharp reaction online.

However, it is not the first time the self-proclaimed hustler has mingled with the poor given that he has been seen dining elsewhere across the country.

Throughout his trip, a host of leaders from both Kisii and Nyamira accompanied the DP and pledged support ahead of 2022 polls.
