“Koti Yangu kwa Harusi Inakuhusu Nini?” – Ruto Fires Back at Sifuna Over Designer Blazer

President William Ruto has responded to criticism from Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna over his designer blazer, insisting that he pays attention to how he dresses.

Ruto defended his fashion choices, saying the way he presents himself is a personal decision that should not become a subject of political attacks.

“I pay attention to how I dress,” the President said, responding to remarks directed at his designer outfit.

He further questioned why his clothing had become a matter of public debate, using a Swahili phrase to challenge those criticising his appearance.

“Koti yangu kwa harusi inakuhusu nini?” Ruto posed, suggesting that his choice of attire should not concern other people.

The President also addressed suggestions that politicians could win the support of young people simply by changing their dressing styles.

He dismissed the idea that wearing casual clothes, including T-shirts, would automatically make a politician popular among the youth.

Ruto’s response appeared directed at Sifuna’s comments about his designer blazer, turning the discussion into another exchange between leaders from the opposing political camps.

The remarks have added a personal dimension to the ongoing political exchanges between the President and his critics, with the debate extending beyond government policies to include appearance and fashion choices.

The exchange also highlights how public figures’ dressing can become part of political conversations, particularly when leaders use their appearance to communicate their image and connect with different groups of voters.

Ruto maintained that he was comfortable with his dressing choices and would continue paying attention to how he presents himself in public.
