“This child called Kevin Omondi, I will pay for your school fees from grade one until you finish high school,” the Head of State announced amid cheers from the Korogocho locals.

“Do you see this child being carried here… bring that child. That child should be in school. Let him be brought by his father, the president is here,” said Governor Sakaja.
President Ruto is among the Kenyan politicians who have taken the responsibility to offer scholarships to children from poor backgrounds.
At the same time, President Ruto vowed to start a fishing project in the Nairobi River after ensuring the river is cleaned.
“We will ensure that we clean up this river until it becomes a good place where we can put fish and ensure that this river has enough water so our children can use it properly,” said Ruto.
