George Ruto, the son of President William Ruto, has shared glimpses of a visit to award-winning Kenyan rapper, entrepreneur and humanitarian Octopizzo at the musician’s home in Ugunja, Siaya County.
The visit came after George spent the weekend in the Nyanza region attending a series of community and youth engagements before making a stop at Octopizzo’s rural residence.
Posting a series of photos on his social media pages, George captioned them simply:
