It turns out DP Ruto was a son of a large scale farmer, his neighbour Mzee Jackson Kibor has revealed that DP Ruto’s father was a large scale farmer who supplied thousands of maize to the state strategic grain reserve the National Cereals and Produce Board and also supplied hundrends of litres of milk to KCC daily.
Ruto’s family had tractors and grade cows in 1970s, his father a native of Belgut constituency in Kericho county ventured into Uasin Gishu to practice large scale farming. Ruto was not a hustler, selling chicken was just a pass time for most Nandi young boys who were allowed to rear chicken as parents never value birds, rearing chicken was left to young boys and mothers (women) as a hobby and not for economic value back in the 1970s and 80s- Mzee Kibor told local reporters
Meanwhile Hon Moses Kuria says: As a son of a peasant I will not use my humble background as a tool to ascend to power, just the same way I do not expect those from rich backgrounds to use their privileged backgrounds as a tool to ascend or keep power. Hubris is unacceptable from those of us from poor backgrounds as it is from the rich. Humility needs to be our guiding factor for both chicken sellers and sons of Presidents.

Dear DP Ruto. Just because you were poor and stole to become rich, doesn't give you reason to assume you're entitled to thank God more than others. Everyone has a struggle and reason to thank God. It's not about money. Some would exchange good health for money.

kwani money is the only thing God can be thanked for?

Let Ruto remember we all walked bare footed used grass in sacks for mattress but that was common to all families perhaps his father had hundreds of arces of land what we want is sound leadership and humility justifying the humble past in his life by helping the poor

Kes. 60 was H.E DP Ruto (Dr) first shoe in 1981. Recall in 1981, you would buy/sell a goat at Kes. 50. H.E DP Ruto (Dr) is telling us fiction

DP Ruto is a pathological liar. He's not a hustler. If he bought his first shoes in 1981 at Sh60, then he was super rich. By then, $ was trading at Sh8. In the present day, that is cool Sh800.. the hustler tag is just fictitious, meant to confuse us! #StopTheseThieves pic.twitter.com/0wzg1uPnS7
