William Ruto is known for his kind-heartedness. Uhuru and his deputy are the kind of leaders that have proven, we are all human regardless of our
shortcomings. I know many at times, we feel as though they are indebted to us. Like they need to make an appearance in every fundraising we have which we all know it’s impossible. Try think about it, this coming weekend, many of us have planned to attend functions, either a hospital bill kitty for our loved or friend, a distant relative who is due for surgery in India, you name it. And in a way if we had the opportunity, would not decline a helping hand from the politicians, after all, they have they right? A Bomet boy suffering from hydrocephalus, water on the brain, was airlifted to Nairobi on Tuesday for treatment. 
Kipkoech’s condition attracted to the attention of the DP when he
presided over a function in Bomet on Saturday. The seven-year-old will undergo treatment at the Aga Khan Hospital. Ruto will pay the bill.
On Saturday as Ruto prepared to speak, the crowd demanded the boy be taken to him for help. His condition is well known in the area. Ruto announced he will foot the cost of Kipkoech’s treatment. “This is now my responsibility and I will take it upon myself to ensure he’s well,” Ruto said amid applause from the crowd. Some Kenyans however were not pleased with Ruto’s move. Here are some of the conversations:
Kipkoech’s mother Yvonne Chelang’at said she had unsuccessfully sought
treatment for her son. The boy has been to Kikuyu, Kaplong and Longisa hospitals. Chelang’at said she had appealed to well-wishers and local leaders for funds for treatment.
A human heart? He is the DP. Why cant the government invest more in healthcare? Kenyans do not want handouts. What will happen to the kids from some far flung areas who have no access to the DP? Tokenism is the sign of a failed administration.

Hydrocephalus is the buildup of fluid in the cavities within the brain. The
excess fluid increases the size of the ventricles and puts pressure on the brain. The treatment will be sponsored by Deputy President William Ruto whose private chopper picked up Ian Kipkoech and his mother from Longisa village in Bomet East. Cerebrospinal fluid normally flows through the ventricles and bathes the brain and spinal column.
