Opulence-flaunting MPs eat humble pie as Ruto withdraws Finance Bill

The most comical of the displays was by the Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot who offered to show receipts to dispute reports that he was studding around in a designer pair of shoes estimated to be Sh165,000.

"The pair of shoes can't go beyond Sh15,000. We went on a trip in the US, and I entered a small mall and bought it for 100 dollars. I can even produce the receipts. I only saw the brand that I'm associated with yesterday. My suppliers of shoes and jeans are the people I grew up with in the village; one is Colloser and Willy, so those claims of flashy life I don't know," he told The Standard in an interview.
