President William Ruto has repeatedly embarrassed himself and the country by giving answers that are neither accurate nor factual while responding to questions from journalists at his meetings with foreign dignitaries, either visiting Kenya or during his travels outside the country.

Political analysts argue that such awkward moments can be avoided through proper briefing and preparation before the president fields routine questions that are always expected at such meetings. Some blame it on the quick responses he makes without pausing to give a more appropriate answer.
