"I pay attention to how I dress" - Ruto fires back at Sifuna over designer blazer

This was in response to Sifuna's jab during the burial of Rigathi Gachagua's sister, where he claimed the president wears expensive attire at the expense of Kenyans.

President William Ruto's war of words with Linda Mwananchi Movement (LMM) Leader Edwin Sifuna continued on Sunday, with the former hitting back at the latter over their manner of dressing.

Ruto said he pays attention to everything he does, including the choice of his attire.

"Merely putting on a t-shirt will not guarantee you the vote of anyone in Kenya, including the young people. I have seen some people talking about the court I was wearing in a wedding. Let me say this, just like everything else I do, I pay attention to what I say, what I do and even how I dress," Ruto said.

"If you casual about your dressing, what you say, how you do stuff, that is your choice. The people who change the world start by making their bed in the morning," he added.

This was in response to Sifuna's jab during the burial of Rigathi Gachagua's sister, where he claimed the president wears expensive attire at the expense of Kenyans.

Sifuna said Ruto castigates him for wearing t-shirt, which are unpresidential, accusing the president of acquiring expensive clothing that runs into millions.
