The Deputy President who graduated on his birthday and wedding anniversary has already updated his status on Twitter to, William Samoei Ruto, PhD. He has received congratulatory messages from several people among them President Uhuru Kenyatta.

But some people believe the DP did not earn the PhD and only got it through back door channels. Economic strategist David Ndii believes Ruto is a cancer that is spreading through every sphere of the society. ‘This psycopath has corrupted the state, the church, now the academy.’
“Congratulations conman. When you sleep at night, you will know you have not earned a PhD, just like the rest of your loot. But at least now you have a credential for your obituary.”

Well, that is David Ndii. A man who does not mince his words. But David Ndii once admitted to smoking a lot of weed during his youth. And we know what they say about old habits.
