Billionaire Narendra Naval gifted President William Ruto a mini wheelbarrow in appreciation for his hustler initiative.
Speaking in Kwale county on Friday, November 18, Naval praised Ruto for starting the hustler narrative, noting that he gave a voice to millions of Kenya.
According to the billionaire, Ruto's win in the August 9 polls was revolutionary as he rallied hustlers who are the engines of the economy.
The gift was thus specially made for the head of state, who Naval had expected would be pleased and touched by the kind gesture.
"There is a big gift that I will give you, you will love it. I am sure you will keep it on your table. I am very happy to say that people who couldn't speak, have a chance to talk because of you.
"You have given them the chance to recognise them as hustlers. It is the biggest achievement Kenya has made," he stated.
The billionaire behind Devki Steel also revealed that he was one of the people victimised for associating with Ruto.
He divulged that he feared speaking on his phone like other Kenyans expressing gratitude for the freedom he got once Ruto won the polls.
"Six months ago it was not easy. Once you were identified to be a Ruto person you would not sleep. All state machinery would come after you. That happened to me, sir.
"We could not sleep, they would frame you and send state officials to you. They took our telephones, and computers and closed the businesses. Till today, they look at our WhatsApp messages. I am sure we will not be working like this," he stated.
He also promised to lobby other manufacturers to support Ruto's agendas.
