Which of Ruto?s sons is studying sports management?

The president hosted the Rising Stars at State House, Nairobi, on Tuesday, April 15.

Ruto flagged off the U-20 football team headed for the African Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt. The team will play their first match on May 1 against Morocco.

?You have my support, as I said, and please make me come to the finals of AFCON. I will be there,? he promised.

Ruto disclosed that one of his sons loves football and often urges him to improve the sport in Kenya.

?My son is a great fan of football, and he keeps telling me that we have to do something.?

The politician disclosed that his son is studying sports management, hoping to leave a mark in Kenya?s sports scene.

?And so that you know how serious he is, he has gone to do a master's in sports management because he wants to come and support you.

"The young people of Kenya see the potential and opportunity that exists in sport.?

TUKO.co.ke established that Ruto?s child in question is George, his youngest son.

?He started pursuing the master's program months ago in London, UK,? a source said.

Some Kenyans hailed the move, as others wondered whether the president would give his son a job once he finishes his studies.

Despite previous controversy over Money Fest's compliance with NTSA regulations, George remained active in Nairobi's vibrant matatu scene.

The green and black-themed Matrix is a consistent top contender for Kenya One, the title given to the hottest matatu.
