A photo of First Lady Mama Rachel Ruto, visibly lost in thought during the annual presidential New Year crossover dinner has elicited mixed reactions among Kenyans.
With the advent of social media Kenyans seem to throw caution to the wind and delve into matters that were just a little while ago sacrilegious.
Perhaps Kenyans are being too judgmental here; we all experience highs and lows in life. One day it’s her looks the other it’s her religious orientation…… it’s rather too much!
Mama Rachel Ruto could be thinking about what the new year held in store for her. Maybe she was tired as a result of lack of sleep, or maybe she could be depressed as any other parent, always is over a million other things.
While the First Family in any Democracy is portent fodder for gossip the public limelight on Rachel Ruto is in itself becoming depressing.
