Deputy President William Ruto has revealed why his firstborn son, Nick Ruto, did not attend the UDA National Delegates Conference (NDC) in the Kasarani indoor arena.
While introducing his family during the event, the DP said that his son could not attend the historical event because he was denied time off from work.
“Hapa pamoja na mimi ni rafiki yangu, the lover of my life, mama Rachel Ruto. Pia tumekuja na watoto wawili ambao wanawakilisha wale wengine.” The DP said.
“I apologise my son Nick did not get permission from his place of work. He works in a law firm and he did not get permission,” he added.

The DP’s daughters June Ruto and Charlene Ruto attended the event. The DP had been asked to introduce his family by the MC for the colourful event, Mc Jessy.
The event had sumptuous performances as the delegates danced to the tune. Starehe MP Charles Njagua moved the delegates into dance as the musician-turned-politician performed his ‘Kigeugeu’ hit.
Chants of ‘Uhuru kigeugeu’ could be heard from the background. Meanwhile, in his speech, the DP hit at the Jubilee government for forgetting its original plan during its second term.
"From 2017 the party backpedalled on its foundational commitment including its foundational covenant. The party rejected national inclusiveness and the based transformative leadership. It instead embraced parochial, ethnic divisive and retrogressive politics," Ruto stated.
