Ruto walks at Koilel Farm

The clip captured Ruto strolling through the grounds toward the edifice, flanked by at least five dignitaries, including Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo.

This was after the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) passout parade at the Defence Forces Recruits Training School in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu.

The president's stately home was presented in two distinct parts.

It's a lofty structure featuring glass elements and a high concrete wall.

The residence is in the final stages of construction, and painting is expected to be part of the finishing touches.

Netizens react to video showing William Ruto's home

@bungomaduke:

"Benefits of working hard. This man inspires me daily."

@E_Wangai:

"The interesting thing about such huge houses is that the ego of the owner is shortlived; in a few years, it will just be a structure with barely anyone living in it."

@ItsJemoh

"He's already a billionaire!"

@KarasingaG

"Sometimes it is a lie to just accumulate too much and this has been sold to us from generation to generation. Unless it's an investment and it's getting him some money, he will even rarely sleep there. Accumulating so much in assets is not the real meaning of living a life."

@ItsKyalo:

"Reminds me of Mobutu’s Gbadolite palatial residence (now in ruins). Hata hizi ni chakula za mchwa tu."

A week ago, Ruto and First Lady Mama Rachel spent time at his Narok farm.

Blogger Dennis Itumbi shared images online showing the two at their farm monitoring their livestock.

They were also observed checking on their wheat and Boma Rhodes crops at their farm.

The duo planted trees at the farm, as the head of state does not shy away from displaying his love for agriculture.
