Deputy President William Ruto has been elected to a global governance body where he will represent both Kenya and Africa.
Ruto will serve for three years in the Steering Committee of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), a governance body that brings together government leaders and civil society advocates with an aim of promoting accountable, inclusive, and responsive governance through access to public information, civic participation, and innovation among others.
OGP whose membership consists of 78 countries and 20 local governments was established in 2011 under the leadership of the 44th US President Barack Obama.
Kenya was elected to the OGP Steering Committee alongside Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
“We are pleased to announce that the governments of Canada, Italy, and Kenya have been elected by their peers to three-year terms on the OGP Steering Committee beginning on October 1,” the OGP announced.
The election will enable the government of Kenya to showcase its transparency to the world.
“Kenya also stands to benefit as this leadership gives the country the platform needed to promote OGP principles of transparency, civic participation and use of technology beyond the current 13 members of OGP on the continent,” said Dr. Korir Sing’oei, a Legal Adviser at DP Ruto’s office.
Ruto will also provide guidance to 13 African countries on how to implement OGP’s global campaign “Open Recovery + Open Response.”
They include Nigeria, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Tunisia, and Morocco.
“Ruto will serve together with other high-level government representatives from Canada, France, Argentina, Georgia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Nigeria, Romania, and South Korea,” Sing’oei added.

After reading all these spinned up comments, I came to realize that it’s written by one psychopath. The names and contents are just a creation by this same sociopath to disguise as many of them!
Kenya and African countries always get rejects in the name of fulfilling their dreams! This man is the worst choice Kenya and Africa can have! Lock up your money boxes people! The biggest thief in Africa has been appointed to ruin your coffers!!
99.99910% believe that President Obama was not consulted when this choice was made. There is no way Barack can work with a man who has stolen everything Kenya’s children have for their comfortable future!
We ask for this choice to be recalled! Ruto does not have a moral authority to speak for Kenya.
Come on Uhuru, are you going to let this nonsense be imposed on Kenyans??? I don’t get it!
Singoei - dude! You are speaking for yourself and not for the Republic of Kenya!! Period! Ruto is the wrong man for this job! Kenya deserves a better choice! This organization is putting a wolf in the 🐓 chicken’s house! He will devour very chicken before the three years are over! I’m almost certain former President Obama was never consulted! He is not a man to have agreed to a Ruto choice! He knows this wolf far much better! Uhuru must revoke this choice rest we are finished!
Ruto who for a post’s choice!? This is a cooked choice!! O body should insult Our country Kenya, and it’s people in this shameful manner!! Ruto belongs to the ICC as we speak! So he will preside over more burning of women and children in Eldoret, Kenya??? Is that the plan???? We are all terribly pissed off!!!
Showcase your transparency Dr. Ruto....funny:)
I do not find this pronouncement funny in any way! This is a case of mistaken identity! This Ruto is our to fill his pockets with ill gotten wealth. He is very greedy being to represent us to such a prestigious body! Unless morality and character values do not count any more, DP Ruto is the wrong man to represent Kenya any where! He is too tainted with corruption, theft, murders, and other negative associations since YK92! Kenyans must speak out ant reject the choice Ruto for this post! Where is Obama??? You can’t kill Osama and then turn around to give a guy worse than Osama!
This choice is an insult to Kenya! Loud and clear!!! It shows you can do all sorts of evils and then get rewarded for the maddening evils you have done!
Did Uhuru stamp on this choice!? Really, gods must be very crazy! Even the world seems to understate our ability to chose good leadership!! Really!! It breaks my heart to see the damage while people continue to inflict in our courses by picking the most rouge among us to lead us!! What’s up Obama!?
This is exactly how it all started in Rwanda where over 8 million lives ended up getting butchered with machetes! They picked the war lords and planted them in some world bodies. Then they felt empowered to abuse our people and so they did it!
Ruto has a pending case in ICC and does not qualify to make any important decisions at the International level for Kenya and Africa as whole!
Kenya has other able persons to do this job without any suspicion. I won’t congratulate Ruto!!! He is known thug!!
The most corruption ridden DP in Africa to preside over Kenyan and African affairs?? Wow, those who made this choice must not read history books! God help us all!
Stop selling Kenyans short! We will do without Ruto as our representative! He is unqualified to represent us! This is an insult to Kenyans, all Africans and humanity at large! Take your post back!!!!
This choice of Ruto by a world body is enough to cause demonstrations across Kenya in unison to reject a Ruto choice! Are you just kidding me?? Please take your position back! We don’t want it!! Shit!!
Why don’t you revive Hitler of Germany and appoint him to this position? That is exactly what you have just done appointing DP Ruto to this important post! You are directly insulting the African people!! When will this kind of short-visionEd outlook ever stop!!??
DO Ruto should and must turn down this position! He does not qualify to speak for Kenya and Africa! On what basis was he picked!! African watch out!
The greediest man in the whole planet to represent Kenyans?? Some of these world bodies are fake! Kenyans buckle up with Ruto on the steering wheel. And while at it, carry potatoes m, mandazi and a big cup of tea to enjoy a thief taking you no where!!
President Obama’s message of “Hope we can Count on” and “Yes We Can” slogan have just been severely damaged by his organization selection of DP Ruto as Kenya’s representative to his organization!
As a youthful Kenyan who admired Obama’s presidency, I think this choice of Ruto is the worst decision Obama has ever made!
The man you have chosen has a case of crimes against humanity still pending in The Hague at the ICC!
DP Ruto presided over the biggest chaos in 2007 where over 1600 Kenyans (mostly women and Children) were murdered in cold blood! We all still mourn those who died in Kiambaa Church in Eldoret. You can google this mass killing of innocent women and children, and those who happened to be shot with poisoned arrows as they attempted to escape!
This man Ruto is corrupt, has been accused of murder - such as Kenei and Mwikali as late as last week, stealing our coffers through fake dams projects, poor people’s pieces of land, etc!
President Obama, if you want the hope and the dreams of youthful Kenyans to continue to grow, please know Ruto is not someone to represent our hopes, dreams and aspirations!
We beg you to reconsider this selection and withdraw this choice. Select another Kenyan we can all be proud of to serve with you! There are many qualified Kenyans to serve us!
Mr. Obama - you talk about pouring salt on a fresh injury, possible injury earned in the battle field fighting for people’s freedoms? Sir, Ruto is the wrong choice for the job!! You have missed widely by throwing Ruto to all of us!! We feel deeply insulted!! Is this true or are we dreaming????
This OGP is just another talking shop. No need to get all worked up. It has nothing to show.
Mtachonga sana
DP Ruto has a depraved mind to be reasonably fit for this job! He lacks moral conscience and human dignity! He is morally evil and inept to the consistencies of life! He should not be honored to represent Kenyans that he has corruptly oppressed by stealing from us.
Congratulation Mr..
haters and Dynasties cant stand this.....
Congrats! GOD always opens doors.
So Ruto is getting rewarded for killing his wife’s steward, Ms Mwikali, after she revealed that Ruto had beaten his wife Rachel to a point of killing her!?
What is it with the Ruto’s fascination with dumping dead bodies in the Tsavo National Park?? What was the intent; basically to have Mwikali’s body eaten by hyenas just like Yebei’s body???
The ordinary people of Kenya have been declared casualties of the politicians they elected to serve them!!!
William Ruto deserved it,the false allegations about him being corrupt is just a scam!other politician are doing anything to bring him down but the truth is that Ruto is loved by the people of the republic of Kenya,he is a quality leader,a leader who understands how the people suffer and given the chance he will bring change!.
Wish you well Dr. WSR in your new apptment. Before you Soar like an Eagle once you hit the ground flying, ask yourself why they offered you this opportunity. Let "makerere ya Chura" not distract you from doing good for overall good of democracy. I and like minded hustlers know that the system that thrives under dynasty still gonna hate. They only like their own lineage for such prime appointments. We see their representation in some of their comments above. Rest assured knowing that kwa ground things ni different and we are behind you bega kwa bega!
Dr Ruto is the best for that job, we are behind you
I pity Kenyans becoz we point fingers to others but we are corrupt as from our homes we need to repent from our childhood mentality if we are going to change this kenya
What an insult to our country!? Maybe they elected him do he can stop stealing our money (21 billion shillings stolen and this is what Kenya gets)?? How is Ruto gonna change to be the right kind of message for good governance and managing of our scarce resources wisely!? Kenyans must stand up to reject this appointment of a selfish Ruto!!! Not impressed!!!
