George Ruto has given a glimpse into his personal life, business interests and football preferences during a candid quick-fire interview.

President William Ruto’s son, George Ruto, has spoken about his personality, business ventures, football interests and some of the things people may not know about him during a recent interview.

The interview, conducted in a quick-fire format, covered a range of personal topics, including how George describes himself, the misconceptions people have about him and lessons from his business experiences.

George Describes Himself

Asked to describe himself in three words, George chose:

“Outgoing, handsome and energetic.”

The response was one of the moments from the interview that attracted attention online.

George was also asked about a misconception people have about him.

According to his response, one of the things people often get wrong is assuming that he is a politician.

He said people think he is a politician, despite his own focus on activities outside politics.

His Business Experiences

The interview also touched on George's business activities.

He spoke about an earlier clothing business, describing it as his first business venture and saying that the experience taught him how to run a business.

He also identified investing in the matatu industry as one of the risks he took that paid off.

George has previously been associated with investments in the transport sector, including a matatu fleet operating on routes in Nairobi.

His business interests have also included clothing, sports and media-related ventures.

His Football Preferences

Football was another subject covered during the quick-fire session.

George identified Lionel Messi as his favourite footballer.

He also named Arsenal as the football club he would most want to play for.

The answers added a sporting dimension to an interview that largely focused on his personal preferences and business interests.

What He Values in People

George was also asked about relationships and personal qualities.

When discussing first impressions, he said he prefers getting to know people over time rather than relying solely on an initial impression.

He identified honesty as a quality he values in other people.

He was also asked about something he is not particularly good at.

His answer was dancing.

His Life Motto

During the interview, George also shared a short phrase that he uses as a life motto:

“No risk, no story.”

The statement came while he was discussing risk-taking and his experiences in business.

George and the Recent Social-Media Attention

The interview came shortly after George had attracted attention over his interactions with Kenyan teacher and content creator Teacher Cillah.

The two had exchanged playful comments on social media, leading to speculation among social-media users about their relationship.

George later addressed the speculation, saying that marriage was a serious commitment and that social-media interactions should not be interpreted as plans to marry. He also stated that he already has a wife.

The recent interview therefore comes amid increased public interest in George's activities and personal life.
