Many people became familiar with Deputy President William Ruto's brother during his dowry negotiations on August 9, 2019.
However, David Samoei Ruto is a secretive person and has managed to live his life away from the glare of the media, as Kenyans.co.ke dug out from his Facebook account.
David got engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Carol Kitur, in a colourful traditional ceremony known as 'Koito'. Ruto led the negotiations alongside Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago and Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.
David and his fiancée Caro Kitur Kipsigei reside in the US despite having a matrimonial home in Kenya.
He worked as a senior manager at a telecommunication company in Irvine, California.
He graduated with a Masters in Business Administration at Capella University in Minneapolis, Minnesota (US).
During his free time, he goes for cycling in the woods as he has a passion for nature.
His wife Kitur is enthusiastic about music and comedy. She follows Taunet Nelel hitmaker Emmy Kosgei and the Propesa comedians.
He is also a fan of President Uhuru Kenyatta's niece, Nana Gecaga who is the CEO of Kenyatta International Convention Centre.
David Samoei and his wife have a lovely young daughter.
