President William Ruto on Thursday joined Turkana traditional dancers on the stage.

Ruto was mesmerised by the dancers who were ululating and dancing as they jingled jewellery on their necks.

As they jumped up and down, Ruto was seen joining them as he donned his Turkana traditional regalia.

He wore a cloth knotted on the shoulder, to form a sort of tunic, for men as he wrapped it around his chest.

His blue and red Shuka blended well with the dancers who by now were trying to smile after seeing the head and State join them.
