Deputy president William Samoei Ruto has said that his chicken farming earns him more money on a daily basis which no leader in government doing poultry business can achieve.
Ruto while responding to CS Matiang’i clarified that he makes 1.5 million Kenya shillings a day from eggs alone since he has more than 200,000 layers with each egg going at 10 Kenya shillings.
As a result, the second in command confessed that the eggs alone give him 45 million monthly.
Further, Ruto said that he has other businesses that earn him millions of money in a day for instance exporting avocados worth millions of shillings, getting millions from his hotels, getting millions from his insurance firm, getting millions as salary of DP, getting millions from his shares of media, farming business and estates that give him millions.
Cumulatively, William Ruto said that he makes more than 50 million in a day and more than 1.5 billion monthly.
