Charlene Ruto explains why she has been moving around meeting leaders in various counties.
Charlene Ruto, President William Ruto’s daughter, has broken her silence amid criticism of her meetings and engagements with leaders from various countries.
The president’s daughter hit the ground running shortly after her father’s inauguration in September, meeting with leaders from all 47 states and sparking discussions about her strategy and funding sources.
Charlene revealed in an interview with digital media platforms on Saturday that she was working on her foundation, the main goal of which is to amplify the voice of the youth.
“A lot of Kenyans have been wondering what I am doing going around counties. What is it exactly? I am not asking anyone to give me a position anywhere. I don’t need any position to do what am doing,” Charlene said.
Then added, “That is why I decided to have my own initiative so that I can help the community and Kenyans and really be a voice for our youth… I believe there is a difference between leadership and politics. You can lead without a title in politics, that is why I have taken the path,”

Charlene has also dismissed claims that she was using public funds to move around the country saying, she has her own source of funding.
“Charlene Ruto Foundation has so many donors and sponsors who have come on board, Some are individuals who have come to me. A lot of people in business have also come to me and they have supported the Foundation. Even I have put my resources and my whole team. We are not using any government resources to do our activities,”
She has also revealed that The Charlene Ruto Foundation will be officially launched in early 2023.
For now, she says, she is putting functional structures of her foundation in place.
