Deputy President William Ruto on Sunday, August 16, took some time off his busy schedule to herd livestock in his ranch.
Ruto was fully dressed for the occasion as he completed his look with a cowboy hat, safari boots and walked around with a herder's stick.
The Deputy President attended to a large number of cows, sheep, and goats and even carried a lamb on his arms as they returned to the barn.
According to reports, the ranch is located in Taita Taveta County with details about the exact location still scanty.
The photos sparked reactions from Kenyans as some praised him for being a good shepherd who looks after his flock, an apparent reference to his political career.
Some however raised questions about his net worth owing to the huge number of livestock he possesses including the vast ranch.
Ruto has had some experience in agriculture as he was once a chicken seller who carried out his trade at Kambi Kuku market along the busy Eldoret-Malaba Highway.
Suna East MP Junet Mohamed's remarks of following former Prime Minister Raila Odinga like cows also resurfaced with some people attaching the comments to the photos.
Some compared the Deputy President to Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni who owns two ranches in the neighbouring country with the famous Ankole cows.
Labour Cabinet Secretary Simon Chelugui also had photos of himself surface in a ranch while attending to his cows in Baringo. South.
This comes after President Uhuru Kenyatta sent Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries and Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) on recess.
Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua in a memo stated that cabinet members will be expected to conduct working tours, site visits and field engagements with members of the public.
Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko also posted pictures of himself in a farm inspecting his vegetables and feeding his ostriches.
He asked the public not to bash him for his style of dressing, explaining that he was indoors and was the reason for his outfit that resembled a pyjamas.
