President William Ruto has responded to speculation about his health, explaining that his recent weight loss is a result of irregular eating patterns due the pressure of campaigning for the 2022 election.
In a joint media interview on Sunday, the
President acknowledged that he had put on weight due to the stress of the
campaign trail, which left him with little time to exercise and often resulted
in overeating.
"I had an original fit that in the last
one and a half to two years. We went into elections and you know when you have
elections you have a lot of pressure, sometimes you take out the pressure on
food," he Head of State told journalists, "You have to do this and
that and you don't have time to go and exercise and sometimes you eat. Because
you don't know when you will get the next meal, sometimes you overeat."
However, since taking over office, President
Ruto said he has made a conscious effort to lose weight, recognizing the
demands of his position and the need to stay alert and focused.
He emphasized that his weight loss was a
deliberate choice, stating, "I decided to cut it down because ile kibarua niko nayo si kidogo (the task ahead is not
simple). So, you need to be alert ndo
kazi iweze kusonga for things to go as planned."
