Could President William Ruto have launched the same road twice?
Well, a tweet indicating that Ruto had launched Captain- Ndemi-Wanjohi-Kwa Matu-Geta-Kahuruko-Ndunyu Njeru road generated lots of buzzes after it emerged that he had commissioned the road five years ago.
In the recent tweet, Ruto is wearing a reflector jacket, checked shirt and white cap.
"Earlier launched the tarmacking of the 55km captain- Ndemi-Wanjohi-Kwa Matu-Geta-Kahuruko-Ndunyu Njeru and addressed wananchi at the Ndunyu Njeru trading centre at Ol Kalou town," Ruto's Thursday, April 6, 2023 tweet read.

While reacting to a post made on the President's Twitter handle on Thursday, Kenyans shared a tweet he made in 208 indicating that he had launched the road.
The post showed Ruto launching the road in Nyandarua County.
In the 2018 tweet, Ruto is wearing a navy blue suit and is in the company of other leaders.
"During the launch of construction works of the 55km Captain- Ndemi-Wanjohi-Kwa Matu-Geta-Kahuruko-Ndunyu Njeru and Access to Karima Girls High School Roads at Captain and Opening of Ol Kalou CDF office, Ol Kalou Nyandarua county," Ruto's November 16, 2018 tweet read.
