President William Ruto has clapped back at Kenyans mocking him using controversial monikers such as Kasongo and Zakayo.

Addressing the residents of Busia during his development tour in Western Kenya on Friday, January 24, Ruto expressed his awareness of the nicknames adding that he was no longer bothered about them.

While acknowledging the two titles, the Head of State claimed that his critics had resorted to naming him Kasongo because of his incredible intelligence.

According to him, he was no longer bothered by the negative criticism as long as he fulfilled the purpose for which he was elected by Kenyans.
