A video circulating on social media in mid-March 2026 shows George Ruto, the youngest son of William Ruto, spending time with a popular Nairobi biker crew known as the 12 O’Clock Boyz.
In the clip, George arrives riding a striking red-and-white dirt bike decorated with a crew sticker. He is dressed casually in blue jeans, white-and-black sneakers and a black hoodie, paired with a matching red-and-white helmet.
The footage captures members of the energetic biker group performing daring tricks, including wheelies and high-speed runs along major roads. George appears excited by the spectacle, revving his bike enthusiastically while watching the stunts unfold.
Although he does not attempt the more risky tricks himself, he is seen smiling, interacting with the riders and enjoying the moment as the crew cheers him on.
One biker who shared the video online captioned it, “Thanks Mhesh for coming,” using a respectful nickname commonly associated with public officials or their families.
Kenyans React to the Viral Video
The video quickly drew attention online, with many Kenyans praising George for appearing relaxed and comfortable among everyday youth despite his privileged background.
Several netizens applauded his ability to blend in with the group.
Some reactions included comments such as:
“Huyu ni rich kid fitting in with ghetto youth, love to see it.”
“Hii nayo imeweza, kijana wa watu!”
“The ride was awesome babaa.”
The moment has added to George’s growing visibility in youth-oriented spaces, a contrast to the relatively low-profile lifestyle he previously maintained despite coming from one of Kenya’s most prominent political families.

From Aviation to Sports
Away from viral social media moments, George has pursued a range of interests outside the political spotlight.
Often described as a youthful entrepreneur, he is also a trained pilot. He earned his pilot’s licence after undergoing training in the United Kingdom and has occasionally shared videos of himself flying helicopters, which have impressed many online followers.
George is also passionate about sports, particularly football. He has supported youth talent development through initiatives such as the Jamhuri Sports Academy, which has previously won competitions including the Talanta Super Cup.
Currently, he is pursuing a Master’s degree in Sports Management in London, a move that aligns with his interest in building a career within the sports industry.
Business Ventures and Other Public Moments
Beyond sports, George has also invested in Kenya’s vibrant matatu transport industry. Reports indicate that he owns a fleet of luxury matatus and buses operating in Nairobi and surrounding areas. Some of the vehicles feature eye-catching custom names such as “Raptor” and “Mood,” reflecting the colourful culture associated with the matatu sector.

Over the years, George has also made headlines for several notable public moments.
In 2023, he delivered KSh 3 million in cash on behalf of his father to a church in Eldoret, an act that quickly went viral online.
He also attracted attention during his father’s 2022 presidential inauguration, where observers pointed out the striking similarities between their fashion styles.
While some youths have previously urged him to consider entering politics, George has remained silent on any such ambitions.
For now, his activities—from aviation and sports to business investments and youth culture moments like the recent dirt bike outing—paint the picture of a young man gradually carving his own path while occasionally stepping into the public spotlight.
