President Ruto hit with shoe during Migori rally, continues with speech [Video]

President William Ruto was struck by a flying shoe while addressing a public rally in Kehancha town, Migori County, on Sunday, in an unexpected incident captured on video and shared widely on social media.

The footage, seen by The Eastleigh Voice, shows the shoe hitting the head of state mid-speech. Despite the disruption, President Ruto remained composed and continued addressing the crowd.

The president's security team got hold of the perpetrators before they could escape the scene.

The president was in Migori as part of a developmental tour of the region. Earlier in the day, he attended an interdenominational prayer service at Kadika Primary School in Suna East. He then proceeded to Piny Oyie, where he officially opened the Suna East Sub County Office and laid the foundation stone for the Suna West Technical and Vocational College.

“We are strengthening our local administration to ensure it is fully equipped to serve the people efficiently,” Ruto stated.

Also he laid the foundation stone for Suna West Technical and Vocational College, which will enhance access to technical training in the region.

“We are implementing a transformative development agenda that will ensure that no part of our country is marginalised or left behind,” he added.
