President William Ruto's speech was briefly cut short after a resident hit him with a shoe as he addressed a crowd at Kehancha, his last stop on his first-day visit to Migori County.

The president, who was concluding his speech before he invited other leaders to speak, was left shocked as the huge shoe flew to his face, and he reacted by trying to block it with his hands.
