Deputy President William Ruto has said he will invest in the business of two men who created innovative furniture that can transform from a table to a bench.

He made the pledge when the two - Stephen Odhiambo and Dennis Omondi -visited him at his Karen residence to collect their balance for making the DP the furniture.

In a tweet on Thursday, he said, “ I had their balance, which they asked me to top up and buy a specialised machine that will help them fasten their workmanship."

They made a garden seat that can transform to a table and a bench seat.

The DP hosted them at his Karen home a few weeks ago.
