Video: Ruto Causes Laughter in Italy After Imitating Oburu Odinga

President William Ruto sparked laughter during an address to Kenyans living in Italy after briefly turning his speech into a light-hearted moment by imitating Oburu Odinga.

The unexpected imitation drew cheers and amusement from the audience, momentarily shifting the tone of what had been a serious discussion.

Ruto had been explaining the challenges facing Kenya’s economy, particularly the rising cost of fuel and essential commodities.

While outlining his administration’s plans to stabilize prices and strengthen the economy, the President emphasized the urgent need for sustainable energy solutions.

He noted that long-term investment in power generation remains key to reducing costs and supporting economic growth.

In the middle of his remarks, Ruto referenced the popular “tunataka power” phrase often associated with Oburu Odinga. Mimicking the ODM leader’s delivery, the President lightened the mood, prompting laughter and applause from Kenyans at the event.

The crowd responded enthusiastically, with many appearing to enjoy the rare humorous exchange in a typically formal setting.

Despite the brief comedic interlude, Ruto quickly returned to his main agenda, reiterating his government’s commitment to implementing policies aimed at improving livelihoods.

He highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance energy production, boost local industries, and create a more stable economic environment.

The President assured Kenyans abroad that his administration remains focused on delivering tangible results and addressing pressing economic concerns.

His remarks also underscored the importance of unity and collaboration in overcoming national challenges.

The incident has since attracted attention online, with the video circulating widely and generating mixed reactions from Kenyans, some praising the President’s humor while others debated the political undertones of the imitation.
