President William Ruto has said that Kenyans will 'kill' him with nicknames if the trend of coining new aliases for him continues.

Speaking in Lang’ata on the fourth day of his development tour of Nairobi city, Ruto joked that they started by calling him a hustler and moved the name survivor.

He went on to say that Kenyans later on moved to Zakayo, and they are now calling him Kasongo.

While he was Deputy President from 2013 to 2022, Ruto branded himself a hustler owing to his background, having started as a chicken seller and working his way to the top of the political space in the country.
