It is President Uhuru Kenyatta’s birthday, and Kenyans have flocked the internet to send him birthday wishes under the hashtag #HappyBirthdayMrPresident .
His deputy Dr William Samoei Ruto has not been left behind in wishing his boss a happy birthday.
The DP through his official twitter account send a message to the head of state which has sparked a lot of reactions.
In his message, Ruto praised president Kenyatta saying that he is a great inspiration to him, Jubilee leadership and millions of Kenyans as the youngest President Kenya has ever had.
Ruto further noted in his message that he was looking forward to what they had agreed with president Kenyatta to do after they retire, asking the head of state if he is still remembering.
“Happy birthday to my friend & Boss H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta. You are a great inspiration to me, Jubilee leadership and millions of Kenyans as the youngest President we’ve ever had. As we age, I look forward to what we agreed on to do when we retire. Remember? Ubarikiwe mpaka Ushangae!” reads Ruto’s tweet.
However, Kenyans on twitter did not take any of Ruto’s wishes.
They went on to ask if Ruto was retiring with his boss, arguing that he is on the 2022 ballot.
Some decried the rate of unemployment in the country, urging the DP to act first.
Some told off the DP, arguing that him alongside the president were lucky enough to enjoy birthday bashes as Kenyans sleep on empty stomachs.
Here are some of the reactions.
