George Ruto has left many Kenyans talking after taking to the skies with his sister Charlene Ruto’s fiancé, Isaya Yunge, on board a helicopter.
George shared a short video of the flight on Instagram on Thursday, August 27, giving his followers a glimpse of what happened during the outing.
Unlike a normal passenger, George was sitting in the pilot’s seat and appeared to be in control of the helicopter. The footage showed the aircraft taking off before later landing safely.
Yunge, who is engaged to Charlene, was among the people on board. He was also seen getting out of the helicopter after the flight.
George captioned the post, “VIP passengers today,” and tagged some of the people who had joined him. He also added gospel music to the video, giving the moment a relaxed and cheerful feel.
The post quickly attracted attention, with many people surprised to see George flying a helicopter.
Some Kenyans praised him for the way he handled the aircraft, while others joked about his family background. A number of comments also focused on the close relationship between Yunge and the Ruto family.
One social media user described George as a sharp young man, while another joked that he had taken after his father. Others simply enjoyed the video and the gospel song playing in the background.
The outing comes shortly after Yunge and Charlene made headlines following their engagement. Since then, Yunge has increasingly been seen in moments involving members of Charlene’s family.
His presence during the helicopter trip therefore caught the attention of Kenyans who have been following the couple’s relationship.
For others, however, the main attraction was George himself. Seeing the President’s son behind the controls gave Kenyans a rare look at a different side of him.
The video has since sparked different reactions online, with some people admiring his flying skills and others making jokes about the lavish lifestyle associated with the President’s family.
Either way, George’s brief helicopter trip with Yunge has given social media users plenty to talk about.
