Deputy William Ruto and his wife Rachel Ruto on Thursday attended the graduation ceremony of their daughter Stephanie Jepchumba at Strathmore University. Stephanie graduated with a degree in Law.
During the graduation ceremony, DP William Ruto rejected to seat at the high table and insisted that he had attended the ceremony as a common parent.
Ruto sat on a plastic chair among other parents.
"Congratulations to Stephanie Ruto on your graduation from Strathmore with a degree in Law. Your dedication, hard work, self sacrifice and God's grace has triumphed. As you join your peers in the legal profession, may you stand with the tenets of justice, fidelity, and impartiality," Ruto tweeted.
For the big day, the Deputy President opted for a casual look in blue jeans and a maroon t-shirt while his wife chose a short white number.
In June, Ruto’s other daughter, Charlene, was also among hundreds of students from Daystar University in Athi River who graduated with a communications degree.
During that period, he took to social media to celebrate Charlene’s academic achievements.
The deputy president shared photos from the graduation ceremony on his Instagram page with the message, “Today I am a proud father, our daughter from Daystar University. She has made my wife Rachel and I proud. Parents should always strive to support their children in whatever way they can.”
