Renowned political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has defended President William Ruto's daughter Charlene Ruto after she claimed that she used to sell smokies while in campus.
In a tweet on Thursday, December 8, Ngunyi asked netizens to leave the president's daughter alone, maintaining that Charlene will go far.
The political analyst sarcastically claimed that it is better to be famous for the wrong reasons than not to be known at all.
"Leave Charlene Ruto alone. The only thing worse in politics than being wrong is being boring (Roger Stone). It is better to be famous for all the wrong reasons than to be a nobody. This kid will go far," Ngunyi tweeted.
Charlene on Wednesday sent social media into a frenzy after a clip of her claiming that that she sold smokies while at Daystar University went viral.

"I had a business of selling smokies and kachumbari na hiyo ndio kitu ikikuwa inauza sana. I was at Daystar University," Charlene said.
However, a section of netizens maintained that the president's daughter was not telling the truth, while others said that she can be a good motivational speaker.
Charlene has been traversing the country since her father took over as president, attending various meetings.
She previously raised eyebrows after she held meetings with Governors and Deputy Governors of various counties in the country.
