Huddah Monroe renews support for Ruto after rating him as worst president Kenya has ever had

3 mins read

Huddah Monroe has heaped praise on William Ruto five months after she withdrew his support for the president amid heavy taxation.

In a surprise move, Huddah urged Kenyans to give Ruto a chance to redeem himself following the sudden drop in the dollar against the shilling.

The Kenyan shilling as of today February 19, 2024, trades at 141 against US dollar from a high of 160 just a week ago.

“Good morning beautiful people. I wanna thank God for life. And our President for whatever he did! This dollar rate is making me scream!!! I love you Mr Prezzo may the Lord take him to Sh90/ one dollar. Sometimes let’s celebrate the small wins. We can’t always be complaining and expect change to happen. Let’s give Mr R the chance to redeem himself. From 167 TO 148 isn’t a joke on forex. It makes a huge difference!” Huddah wrote on Instagram Story.

Huddah withdrew her support for Ruto in September 2023 just days after fuel prices in Kenya reached historic high – with a litre of petrol in the capital Nairobi retailing at Ksh211.64, while diesel cost Ksh200.99 and kerosene Ksh202.61.

Ruto’s administrations has also proposed a plethora of punitive taxes and already implemented some that are hitting Kenyans hard.

In a series of Insta stories, Huddah unapologetically ranked Ruto as the worst president Kenya has ever had, even suggesting that the worst was yet to come.

“Ruto will be the worst president Kenya has ever seen,” she wrote amid uproar over the rising cost of fuel and food items.

The socialite further suggested that Kenyans should never make the mistake of elected the son of a poor man as president.

“Lesson learnt, never give the son of a poor man the presidential seat.”

Huddah added that Ruto has taken Kenya back to 30 years, adding that the worst is yet to come.

“Kenya is going back 30 years… The worst is yet to come,” she noted.

Huddah Monroe used to be a staunch supporter of William Ruto even before the August 9, 2022, general election.

She often insulted opposition leader Raila Odinga while painting Ruto as a saint and savour.
