President William Ruto has said he will use the proceeds from his chicken business to settle a bet with his wife Rachel.
Whereas Ruto was supporting France which he termed ‘African team’ in the Sunday’s World cup finals, his wife together with their children were behind Argentina.
Argentina lifted the World Cup trophy after a penalty shootout that saw it win by 4-2.
“Wale kuku zangu wataniokoa nilipe,” Ruto jokingly said.
He added, "Hustler fund wamenikataza siwezi lipa bet nayo wanasema pesa ni ya husle."
They had not, however, stated the prize or amount the loser would pay the other.
Ruto even went ahead to stir Kenyans saying his stay was no longer tenable as the wife and the kids were giving him pressure to honor the ‘debt’.
“Kwangu hakukaliki. Lady #1 na watoi ni pressure…Hustler fund wamenikataza siwezi lipa bet nayo wanasema pesa ni ya husle. Isorait,” he said.
After the match , Rachel told congratulated his team while asking Ruto to pay the bill.
"I want to join the rest of the World in congratulating the Argentina national football team, captained by Lionel Messi, for winning the 2022 World cup tournament. Wear your three stars with pride. Bill, pay your bill," she twitted.
The Head of State, however, posed a hilarious question asking how bets are counted in a football match.
"Lakini naulizaje? Bet huishanga na 90min ama xtra time huesabiwa? Even penalty shootouts? Kuuliza tu?"
