Deputy President William Ruto ignited a fire on social media when he posted photos capturing him adorned in an Indian regalia, associated with the religious group Sikhs.
Mr Ruto, who was attending the wedding of one Gavneet Chatthe and Rajbir Rai, was wearing a turban - an outfit that reminded Kenyans of the Langa'ta Road Primary School land grabbing incident, in which he (Ruto) was adversely mentioned.
In 2015, Mr Ruto's supposed Weston Hotel became the talk of the country for allegedly grabbing the school's playing ground and turning it into a parking area.
Though the DP dismissed any links to the hotel, the public piled pressure on the then Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu to name the owners of the hotel, who had forcefully acquired the children's playing ground.
After much coercion and direction from President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ms Ngilu finally named the four owners. She listed Nairobi businessmen Mandip Singh Amrit, Manjit Singh Amrit, Harbans Singh Amrit and Kamal Prakash Amrit as the owners of the company linked to the controversial acquisition of the land.
The Minister, however, failed to disclose the identity of those she claimed sold the disputed land to a company owned by the four.
Kenyans, who were seemingly convinced that Ruto was the owner of the hotel, indicated that Ngilu's list protected the real perpetrators.
With this dissatisfaction, a section of the public started an online wave of photo-shopping Ruto's pictures and dressing him with the religious turban, portraying him as one of the four owners.
From the social media trend Ruto was even given Indian names with the title Singh.
The recent photo, capturing the DP dressed in the Indian dress, interested many who were fascinated at how what was simply a joke had become a reality - Ruto wearing the indian turban.
