Zimbabwean businessman Wicknell Chivayo shared an unusual moment with President William Ruto after the Kenyan leader personally drove him and his wife during their visit to Kilgoris, Narok County.
Chivayo could be heard expressing his excitement as Ruto took the wheel, saying, “We’re being driven by the President of Kenya!”
The moment happened on Saturday during the traditional Koito ceremony of Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto and her fiancé, Tanzanian businessman Isaya Yunge.
The colourful ceremony was held at Intonna Heritage Farm in Kilgoris and brought together family members, political leaders, businesspeople and other invited guests.
Chivayo and his wife were among the high-profile guests who attended the ceremony.
The businessman appeared delighted by the unusual experience of having the President personally drive them.
The moment offered a lighter side of the high-profile event, with Chivayo capturing the experience and sharing his excitement with his followers.
His appearance at the ceremony also drew attention because of his lavish style.
Chivayo was spotted wearing a Jacob & Co Twin Turbo Furious Baguette watch reportedly valued at about KSh193.5 million.
The expensive timepiece added to the attention surrounding his appearance at the ceremony, which was already attracting significant public interest.
Chivayo later praised Ruto after attending the event, describing his presence at the ceremony as an “absolute honour and privilege.”
The Zimbabwean businessman has previously been seen interacting with prominent African political and business figures, making his appearance alongside Ruto another moment that attracted attention online.
However, it was the President getting behind the wheel that became one of the most talked-about moments from his visit.
Rather than the usual formal setting of a presidential engagement, the scene showed Ruto in a more relaxed setting as he drove his guests during the family occasion.
For Chivayo, the experience was clearly memorable.
And his excited declaration summed up the moment: “We’re being driven by the President of Kenya!”
