Nairobi, Sunday, May 14 – President William Ruto Sunday attributed his weight to a new diet regimen.
While dismissing allegations that his health is deteriorating, Ruto said it is important for him to get in good shape in order to effectively discharge his duties as the head of state.
Ruto was speaking to journalists during a joint interview Sunday evening.
“I have decided to cut down (my weight). I have been on my feet for the last two years. When you have elections you might have some pressure and you might release it on food“, he said.
Kenyans on social media have been questioning the president’s drastic loss of weight with many alleging that the president is unwell.
Ruto said the pressure that came with campaigns towards the 2022 general election forced him to have irregular eating schedules, sometimes finding himself over-eating or eating at odd hours.
“I had an original fit that ran amok the last one and a half to two years. We went into elections and you know when you have elections there is a lot of pressure, sometimes you take out the pressure on food,” Ruto said.
“You have to do this and that and you don’t have time to go and exercise and sometimes you eat. Because you don’t know when you will get the next meal, sometimes you overeat.”
He said he decided to lose weight since he took over the reins of power.
