President William Ruto’s fashion choices have sparked conversation online, with some people noting his recent decision to wear a shirt with marijuana leaves printed on it.
The president, who is known for his colorful and often unconventional fashion sense, wore the shirt while commissioning the rehabilitation of the Tana Delta Irrigation Project on Thursday.
Some people on social media have criticized the president’s choice of shirt, saying that it is inappropriate for a head of state to wear clothing with images of illegal drugs. Others have defended the president, saying that he is simply expressing his personal style.
This is not the first time that President Ruto’s fashion choices have been the subject of discussion. In June, he wore a belt worth Sh392,000 ($2,800) by the Italian fashion label Stefano Ricci. The belt was one of three pieces from the designer label that the president was wearing that day.
President Ruto’s fashion choices are often seen as a way for him to express his personality and his commitment to pan-Africanism. The Kaunda suit, which he has worn on several occasions, is named after former Zambian President Kenneth Kaunda, who was known for his support of African unity.
Whether or not people agree with his fashion choices, there is no doubt that President Ruto is a trendsetter. His unique sense of style has made him one of the most recognizable leaders in Africa
