Saturday, February 15, 2025 - President William Ruto is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the African Union Commission Chairperson elections. However, a video of his noticeably small motorcade in the city has caught Kenyans' attention.
The clip, shared by Citizen TV journalist Set Olale, shows
Ruto moving with only four vehicles and no outriders - a stark contrast to the
extravagant convoys often seen in Kenya.
Many Kenyans have questioned why the President cannot adopt
a similarly modest approach back home, criticizing the excessive spending on
his usual high-security motorcade.
The video has since sparked debate on social media, with
some calling for the Government to cut costs and prioritize essential services
over unnecessary displays of power.
Watch the video and reactions below.
