President William Ruto stole the spotlight at the Mombasa International Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show on Thursday after buying a prized bull for Sh1 million.

The Chianina breed, imported from South Africa, was the highlight of the livestock auction.  The three-year-old white bull, weighing 885 kilograms, attracted spirited bidding among senior leaders attending the fair.

Senate Speaker Amason Kingi opened the contest at Sh300,000 before the President raised it to Sh400,000.

Mombasa Governor Abdullswamad Nassir pushed the price to Sh500,000, with Kingi topping it at Sh550,000.
