DP Ruto disputes claims of neglecting child

But in a response to the matter through his official Twitter handle, Mr Ruto told unnamed persons to keep off: "My 11-year-old-child (name withheld) is well catered for including her education in a private boarding school. Politicians and busybodies should keep off." PHOTO: STANDARD

Deputy President William Ruto has been accused of not paying upkeep for the last three years for a child he fathered out of wedlock.

The allegation is contained in a case that was filed in the Nairobi Children's Court yesterday by a woman who claims the two had a relationship that resulted in the birth of a girl.
