Charlene Ruto has clapped back at her critics who have questioned her unofficial political errands in and outside the country.
The president’s second-born daughter has been moving around engaging in political activities including visiting county assemblies, holding meetings with governors and even flying out to Morocco on an unofficial state visit.
A week ago, she was in Kisumu for a tree planting initiative.
Her undefined escapades have since earned her the nickname ‘Quickmart Ivanka.’
Those behind the tag drew parallels between her and former US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump who traversed the country during her father’s reign, working, but without a defined official role.
Charlene, however, appeared unperturbed by the backlash she has received online, more so in relation to the nickname.
On Monday evening, she went shopping at a Quickmart retail store and in an apparent mockery at her critics, posted a photo with a cheeky caption.
“Fresh and easy does it? We move regardless. Where are we popping next?" she asked and added a laugh emoji.
Over the weekend, Charlene was trending at number one on Twitter as people questioned in what capacity she was engaging in political affairs.
However, through her official Twitter handle, Charlene seemingly explained her role in government with the hashtag #AchievingThePlan.
The Kenya Kwanza manifesto on whose strength her father rode to win the presidency is dubbed The Plan.
