Solomon Waigwa, the father of Charlene Ruto’s fiancé Isaya Yunge, has offered followers a glimpse into his family life after sharing photos of himself spending time with his granddaughter.
The photos, posted on Facebook, showed Solomon enjoying a quiet moment with the young girl. In his accompanying message, he described their time together as precious as they continued building their bond.
The child is the daughter of David Wachira, one of Solomon’s sons. She is therefore Isaya Yunge’s niece, placing the family moment within the wider family that has attracted public attention because of Isaya’s relationship with Charlene, President William Ruto’s daughter.
The latest post presented a more private side of Solomon away from the attention surrounding his family’s connection to the President. Rather than a public ceremony or political event, the photos captured an ordinary interaction between a grandfather and his granddaughter.
Solomon appeared pleased as he spent time with the young girl, with the images showing the pair sharing what appeared to be a relaxed family moment. His message also suggested that their relationship was developing gradually as they became more familiar with each other.
The post comes after Solomon previously spoke publicly about Isaya and Charlene’s relationship. He also attracted attention during the couple’s traditional wedding celebrations, where he addressed aspects of the union and the family gathering.
Isaya is Solomon’s adopted son, while his relationship with Charlene has brought greater public interest to the Waigwa family. The latest photos, however, shifted the focus from the high-profile relationship to a simple family interaction.
