Because I'm President's Son Doesn't Mean I Should Stay in State House - George Ruto

President William Ruto's son, George Ruto, has sought to deflate the assertion that his family's status should sideline from commners.

Despite being the president's child, George has often been seen interacting with ordinary citizens, and partaking in activities involving common people.

This, according to him, is a deliberate decision to be part of change in the community and solve the challenges the commoners grapple with.

Seeming to take a jibe at the previous first families, George said he would not be confined to the comforts of power when he should be out helping and impacting lives.

"Because I am a son of the president, it doesn't mean that I should sit and sleep the whole day in state house like the others have been doing. Let me use the opportunity I have right now to help where I can.

He said his undertakings are driven by the passion he got to uplift the young people.

George, an aviator by profession, explained that his choice of investments are informed by the urge to help the ordinary citizenry.

Whilst he could invest in luxury ventures befitting his status, he said he chose what resonates with a majority of Kenyans.

He said he intends to leverage his privilege and networks to impact lives positively.

"When I started my matatu business, went to football space and all these different things that people didn't expect, they started asking why I was doing all that yet my father is the president. What I can tell the people is that I got passion for all these. I really want to touch the lives of these young people. I have the capability, God has given us grace and resources, and people who can help us do it, why not do it?"
