Robert Alai has said, What happened to public leaders being modest in their attempts to show off? What happened to simple but classy watches like Seiko, Citizen, Oris, Rado, Omega, Tissot, etc.? Why put on a Ksh 7 million luxury watch? Is this now looting and you don’t know what to do with the money?
Alai has been told, Boss, the president could afford such even when not in the office, and how come you’ve posted anything about James Orengo? Even Uhuru was not wearing cheap, the office itself comes with luxury. Have you been to the Capital Hill office? Have you ever thought from a marketing point of view, How else would you market a 7.7 million wristwatch? What you have is a lot of bile in your stomach.
Alai with all due respect you have become very petty. Go and get your county council members clean water and better sewage management facilities first before judging how people dress. Someone should not buy a watch because he is working in the government? Think about it. Mhesh, I think you are beyond this kind of pettiness. Just because the watch is expensive doesn’t mean it was bought using stolen money. The president earns a salary just like you and he also runs many businesses. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself well if you can afford it.
A netizen has alleged, I have convinced myself he has been gifted these watches. Convinced myself too to avoid stress. All is vanity. Forcing higher taxes on Kenya citizens to spend expensively and lavishly on unending tourism trips to foreign countries! Most folks act like WSR woke up today & started dressing up like this. Run it back to the early 2000s & find out the dress code/ watches/cars/lifestyle Rutto rolled with.
Another has said, Am wondering what your problem is with people spending their hard-earned money. What happened to minding your own business? What happened to living within your means? He has the money to pay. He is a wealthy man. We need to stop this retrogressive way of thinking.
Some of these things only go with a good face and physique. They complement each other. But if you look the way you want. Won’t work. Before Ruto became president， did you know his worth? presidency to him is self-actualising not stealing wealth. You complain about the wristwatch, what of his real wealth?
Another netizen has alleged, It was a gift from US Ambassador Billionaire to Kenya that paid Chebukati and Koome to overturn the people’s will….and the guy can dare talk about God to people, while God calls for compassion, and selflessness.
