President William Ruto's speech was briefly cut short after a resident hit him with a shoe as he addressed a crowd at Kehancha, his last stop on his first-day visit to Migori County.
The president, who was concluding his speech before he invited other leaders to speak, was left shocked as the huge shoe flew to his face, and he reacted by trying to block it with his hands.
In his speech, the president was talking about plans to reduce the cost of living.
The incident came as a surprise to his allies who had done intense mobilisation ahead of his visit and had showered groups of people with monetary gifts to cheer the president.
