Video: Kenyans Praise Ruto After What He Did at Night in Uasin Gishu County
President William Ruto has attracted attention online after a video showed him taking tea inside an affordable housing unit in Pioneer, Uasin Gishu County, during his ongoing tour of the Rift Valley region.

Ruto’s decision to visit the housing project at night has drawn attention, particularly among supporters who view the programme as an important step towards helping low-income households access decent accommodation.
The affordable housing initiative is a key pillar of the President’s development agenda. His administration has repeatedly argued that the programme will reduce the housing deficit, create employment opportunities and provide homes for Kenyans who might otherwise struggle to afford homeownership.
However, the programme has also attracted public debate over housing costs, eligibility requirements and the overall affordability of the units for low-income earners.
Despite these concerns, the Pioneer visit has provided fresh material for online discussions about the government’s housing agenda and its implementation.
Some Kenyans have praised the President’s gesture, interpreting the visit as an effort to demonstrate confidence in the project and highlight the living conditions the housing programme seeks to provide.
Ruto’s Rift Valley tour comes as the government continues to promote its development record, with affordable housing remaining one of its flagship initiatives.
The video is likely to keep the conversation going as Kenyans assess whether the programme will deliver homes that are genuinely accessible to ordinary households across the country.
