In most occasions, Deputy President William Ruto gets media coverage while attending political functions or launching one project or the other.
However, on Friday, the DP was photographed accompanying his brother, David Ruto Samoei, for his 'Koito'.
The 'Koito' is a ceremony in which the bridegroom family goes to the bride's home officially to meet them.
The groom's family, which include uncles, aunts, grandparents, parents and the clan are invited into the room for dowry negotiations and to know each other well.
Afterwards, a formal introduction is done so as to prevent one from getting married to their own family members.
Each clan in the Kalenjin community has a totem animal to represent them, which they call 'Tiondo' and a clan name, 'Oret'.
Once the families are aware of their animals, both proceed to discuss dowry.
It is alleged that on Friday, the deputy president was a dowry negotiator during his brother's 'koito' that took place in Ziwa, Uasin Gishu County.
Other leaders present during the ceremony were; Uasin Gishu Governor, Jackson Mandago, Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi and Uasin Gishu Woman Representative, Gladys Shollei.
