I've been tracking Ruto's trips since his inauguration in September 2022, recording every country he's visited. Most importantly, the cost.

I've put it all in this article.

A quick thread 🧵

The holidays are starting soon! 🌟 Don't let loneliness and depression lock you indoors. If you're an adventure enthusiast like me, I've put together a list of 10 must-visit places in Kiambu County that you simply can't miss! And the best part? They're all just a short 45-minute to 1-hour drive from the city. 🚗💨🌳🏞️

Stop coming to Kitengela for Nyama Choma. But if you must, here is how you can get better choma.

When you get to the choma area, ask:
"Wapi yule mkamba?"
Or
"Wapi yule Kisii?"

This establishes that you know your game.

Whoever volunteers, look him straight in the eye and say,

Paul walks quickly while looking at his thin watch. He stops a lady on the road. “Can you tell me where Kencom is? I’m late for a date with my wife.” The lady looks at his unkempt look and walks away hurriedly.

“After that, I need to pick up my daughter from school," he mumbles to himself and increases his pace.

He stops a gentleman. “Can you tell me where Kencom is? I’m late for a date with my wife.” He looks at Paul with a raised brow and points at the big sign written ‘KENCOM HOUSE’ that is right opposite Paul, then walks away hurriedly past the city clock whose hour hand is at noon. Paul is stopping another lady. “Can you tell me where Kencom is? I’m late for a date with my wife.”

Maureen watches him from her office on the third floor of Kenya Commercial Bank. She sees him lift his head to the sky and closes the sheer curtains on her office window quickly and grips her mahogany desk.

A lone tear creates a tributary down her cheek and hits the white A4 paper on her desk, creating a dark patch. She gets a handkerchief from her desk drawer and wipes it away. She opens the sheer curtains. Paul is still pacing up and down while stopping random people in his path. She looks at her watch, looks at him, and remembers their first date.

Paul was starting out as an accountant at Housing Finance and she was interning as a banker at KCB. They had met in the office briefly while he was doing their auditing and had decided on Java Kimathi as the venue for their first date because it was central to their workplaces.

Sitting across from him she was now noticing things she had never noticed before. Like how bushy his hair was, how crass the watch he wore looked. If they started dating seriously the hair and the watch had to go.

The waiter brought their food. She remembered sending her plate back because it was not hot enough and when it came back steaming she had gotten into her handbag and pulled out a bottle of homemade tomato sauce. Most men found her controlling, but Paul thought she was meticulous and it was in that way that their Java dates continued and their fling began.

Hope

Maureen glances out the window again. Paul is no longer where her last gaze left him. He is walking towards the reception area of KCB. “Can you tell me where Kencom is? I’m late for a date with my wife.” He is asking a guard.

“After that, I need to pick up my daughter from school.”

He is a common fixture here. The guards look at him and exchange knowing looks. They have very stern directions of what they should do when he shows up, they are to ignore him until he leaves.

Maureen is opening the door for her secretary who is asking how they should deal with the nuisance at the reception desk. She asks her to give her a minute. She sits at her desk and puts both of her palms on her face.

She removes her hands from her face and the first thing she sees is a passport-size photo of her daughter, Hope. When she got the handkerchief from her drawer the photo had fallen and she had picked it up and put it on her desk without looking at it. She goes to the window and remembers that night that plunged her into darkness and Paul into madness.

Their marriage had become less about love and more about appearances. There were counseling sessions that didn’t work, and weekly mandatory dates to rekindle their romance that fell flat.

Paul started finding comfort in the bottle and Maureen started toying with the idea of taking their daughter, Hope to a boarding school—because as she put it, it was unhealthy for a child to be around a drunkard.

Paul eventually found the bottom of the bottle and they started living like roommates, less than roommates, enemies. They had not spoken to each other in what felt like months. Communication was done through their daughter.

“Go and tell Maureen….”
“Go and tell Paul….”
“Mom said to tell you…”
“Dad said to tell you…”

Paul started disappearing, for weeks at a time and when he resurfaced he was irritable. He was seated on the couch, the alcohol draining from his head, when Hope approached him and tapped him on the shoulder. “Dad, mom said to tell you that if you continue like this, we are going to leave and never come back.”

The Date

That fateful night, Hope was playing with her dolls in the living room. The television was switched to Disney Channel and Maureen was in the bedroom folding clothes.

Paul came home early and sober. He sat next to Hope, and put a finger on her lips, “Shhh, we’re going to Disney world,” he said while picking her up and tiptoeing to the door. He had not touched the handle before Maureen showed up with a kitchen knife. One quick slash and the floor was red, only, the blood wasn’t Paul’s.

Paul went mad and disappeared into the streets. When the police showed up they assumed he had done it and she did not bother pointing them in the right direction.

Maureen holds onto the desk but her strength and her grip are waning and she’s falling into a pile on the floor. She stares at Hope’s photo and a lone tear flows down her cheek and hits the carpet with a plop.

She is heaving now and crying out loudly and everyone in the office is looking at her in disbelief, not knowing what to do because it is the first time they are seeing their boss out of grip.

She gets up while heaving and takes the stairs instead of the lifts. One step at a time. Each is heavier than the last. She finally gets to the reception area and is face-to-face with the father of her daughter.

Paul looks at her inquiringly, then opens his mouth to speak. “Can you tell me where Kencom is? I’m late for a date with my wife.” Maureen takes his hand and they walk out of the building and cross City Hall towards Kimathi Street.

They are seated at Java having a meal. “I can’t stay long, I’m late for a date with my wife. Do you know where Kencom is?” Paul says while looking at his thin watch. She bought him that watch for their one-week anniversary. That watch that stopped working a long time ago.

“After that, I need to pick up my daughter from school.” Paul is continuing and Maureen is on her phone. She makes the first call to the hospital and the second one to the police. ‘It’s high time they knew the truth,’ she thinks and a smile almost touches her face before darkness engulfs her again.
