We look at William Ruto vs Gideon Moi Net Worth

Deputy President William Ruto, or simply Dr Ruto, styles himself as a hustler. A man who beat the odds to get to where he is today. He associates his earlier hustles to that of commoners who survive on a less than a dollar a day. William Samoei Ruto is generous to a fault; he will criss-cross counties dishing out millions of shillings in fundraising to schools and churches. From his humble beginnings, Ruto now ranks among the wealthiest people in Kenya. From the same backyard of Rift Valley, we have Baringo County senator Gideon Moi. The son of Kenya second President, Daniel arap Moi, was born in privilege. Moi ran the country like a personal fiefdom and his word was law.

The wealth he plundered over the years propelled him to the elite club of Kenyan billionaires. His son is a beneficiary of this plunder. Although Ruto is a Johnny come lately, he has amassed a lot of wealth which has been attributed to corrupt dealing.

“It is in public domain. I encourage you to Google and find out what William Ruto owns….”
