Speaking to
Kenyans in the U.S. at Convince in Hudson Yards, President William Ruto
stressed that Kenya's success hinges on wise leadership choices, calling it a
grave error to elect a 'fool' as president.
The remark drew immediate backlash when an audience member yelled 'Wantam,' prompting social media users to reference the 2022 election and pledge corrections in 2027.
Ruto also launched a diaspora investment platform with the UN and Equity Group, while touting economic gains like falling inflation and rising reserves.
