President William Ruto has fired back at the People Daily newspaper with a subtle jab after a hard-hitting headline on Thursday.
The newspaper carried a front-page story titled 'State House: No Longer Sacred Grounds' and a short caption saying, "The House on the Hill, once shrouded in secrecy, now hosts every Tom, Dick and Harry in Ruto's quest to garner support." In response through his social media platforms, President Ruto wrote, "Bottom up it is." This message referencing his bottom-up mantra was received with mixed reactions, with some viewing it as a misinterpretation of the story.
