President William Ruto’s son George Ruto has left Kenyans laughing after he answered fans asking when he plans to get married with a witty Swahili reply, days after his sister Charlene’s wedding.
The question flooded his comment section as followers, still caught up in the wedding celebrations, demanded to know when he would walk down the aisle himself.
One fan asked directly, “Utaoa lini wewe kijana?” George replied, “Pigia Uliam,” which essentially tells the fan to call William, his father, with the question.
Another follower pressed on, writing, “Ni wewe tunangoja sasa.” George answered with a playful twist on a Swahili proverb, “Ngoja ngoja huumiza matumbo,” meaning that waiting and waiting hurts the stomach.
A male follower, B.Korir, suggested that church women be asked to find him a wife, saying he had kept people waiting for too long.
Women in the comments then took the exchange in a cheekier direction. Tetio offered to pay the dowry herself, writing, “Nichukue tu ntalipa dowry.”
Speakercheluk declared, “Koito delayed is not koito denied, Maasai shuka lazima nipate mkuu,” leaving little doubt about her intentions.
Maggie revealed she had dreamt of holding a wedding with him, while Erish said she had been praying for a future with George since she was young.
George has kept much of his personal life private despite being one of the country’s best-known young men.
He recently visited Teacher Cillah at her school in Westlands weeks after she publicly proposed to him. During that visit, he addressed the speculation about his love life and said he was seeing someone.
