Friday, February 14, 2025 - President William Ruto’s recent tour of the North Eastern region took an unexpected twist when his detailed recitation of the region’s road network went viral online.
While promising to upgrade the 750-kilometer
Isiolo-Modogashe-El Wak-Mandera Road to boost connectivity, Ruto unknowingly
coined a meme-worthy phrase.
"Ndio barabara itoke Mandera, ikuje Ramu, ikuje Garre,
ikuje El-Wak, ikuje Kobo, ikuje pale Kotulo, ikuje Tarbat, ipitie hapa Wajir,
iende Samatan, iteremke Modogashe, ifike Isiolo, iende Nairobi…"
TikTok users quickly turned his words into a viral dance
challenge, playfully mocking his habit of dazzling crowds with detailed
knowledge of local infrastructure while often failing to deliver on grand
promises.
Below is one of the trending videos.
