Since her father's ascension to the presidency, Charlene came out to engage herself in youth empowerment programmes.
She meets various leaders across the country and attends international forums with foreign dignitaries.
At one point, Charleen sparked controversy by suggesting that her initiatives and causes are run by the "Office of the First Daughter."
This led to Kenyans questioning who her financiers were.
She issued a clarification following her admission that she runs the said office.
According to her, the 'Office of the First Daughter' was a private entity.
"The Officer of the First Daughter is a private entity. It's neither a constitutional office nor is it being funded by Kenyan taxpayers. The office runs to purely facilitate the activities of and any programs being run by Ms. Charlene Ruto," part of the statement by the president's daughter read.
She added that despite being a private office, it had engaged various players in the country in some of the objectives of championing youth-based agendas and climate change advocacy.
