There’s a light moment in an Eldoret event when President William Ruto’s mother Sarah Cheruiyot covered a female journalist with a Maasai Shuka.
The journalist had worn a miniskirt which was inappropriate to a a public function.
The lady accepted the offer and wrapped the shuka around her waist as the crowd cheered.
Mama Sara encouraged mothers to be moral and always carry lesos during public gatherings.
“I ask mothers not to forget the tradition of walking with Kanga, today you have seen how important it is. If we didn’t have the leso, my granddaughter, who is being photographed here, would have continued to shame all of us sitting here,” said Mama Sara.
She went ahead to urge the girl not to be ashamed but embrace the counsel of elders on dress code morality.
“My child, don’t be angry about what I have done. I did it as a parent who loves and values children, especially girls,” added Mama Sara.
The woman in question later escaped and returned wearing a smart green pantsuit as she continued her work filming the event.
Last week, the same journalist was barred from entering a church where Uasin Gishu politicians were attending a Sunday service.

Women leaders of the church erected a human wall at the entrance of the church in an attempt to prevent her from entering the main hall where the service was taking place.
“Even if you are a journalist, respect our church by dressing well and being ethical,” one of the mothers was heard saying.
