An attempt by Dennis Itumbi to make the wife DP William Ruto, Rachael Ruto, look good boomeranged on Wednesday afternoon after he was caught lying using old pictures.
Mr Itumbi had tweeted pictures of Mrs. Rachel Ruto next to a caravan full of foodstuffs and other supplies purportedly in the drought-hit Turkana and Baringo counties.
Two other images showed Mrs. Rachel Ruto sharing the goodies with some officials.
The pictures, which were posted at 3:40pm, were captioned:
“A donation by @MamaRachelRuto in aid of fellow Kenyans facing hunger in Turkana and Baringo drought.”
Mr Itumbi, later deleted the post after people questioned why Mrs Ruto had opted to donate detergent to people in dire need of food.
Mr. Itumbi has since apologized and accepted his mistake citing that he did not take due diligence before posting the old photos dating back to 2014.
I apologize for images I shared here earlier. Mama Rachel Ruto was not in Turkana I relied on unverified images. This was my mistake and I am sorry.
I have since deleted them. May the record reflect the true position and my apology too. Jioni poa.
