A mockery of President William Ruto's announcement of a North Eastern road project has now turned into a viral sensation. On popular social media app TikTok, users remixed his speech into catchy beats and dance challenges, sparking a social media trend.
Ruto's rhythmic delivery of the road's route-"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…"-became an instant hit.
The trend quickly spread across social media, with users creating humorous skits and musical remixes.
Ruto has now dismissed critics who mocked his announcement last week about the government's plan to construct a 750-kilometer road linking Isiolo, Modogashe, El Wak, and Mandera.
