Ruto Meets Uhuru Kenyatta's Brother.
In a development stirring speculation across Kenya's political and financial landscapes, President William Ruto met with Muhoho Kenyatta, the younger brother of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, at State House on Wednesday.
The encounter occurred during the Presidential Gold Awards Presentation ceremony, where Ruto publicly acknowledged Muhoho's presence, referring to him warmly as "my friend" and noting his representation of the International Council of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
This meeting came mere hours after reports emerged that the Kenyatta family is poised to offload a significant portion of their stake in NCBA Group PLC to South Africa's Nedbank Group Limited, in a deal valued at approximately Sh109.5 billion.
The timing has fueled questions about potential links between the high-profile rendezvous and the impending transaction, with observers suggesting it may signal a thawing of relations between the current administration and the influential Kenyatta dynasty.
Muhoho, 62, who serves as a Non-Executive Director on NCBA's board—a position he assumed just two months ago—oversees key aspects of the family's vast business empire, which spans banking, dairy, media, and real estate.
His role has been pivotal in expanding the family's interests beyond Kenya into neighboring East African countries and even Asia and the Caribbean.
Social media buzzed with reactions, with some users questioning the coincidence while Others speculated on broader implications for 2027 elections, given the Kenyattas' historical influence in Kenyan politics.
