Last week, Deputy President William Ruto took his boss President Uhuru Kenyatta to his home in Kamagut, Uasin Gishu County and showed him the house he lived in as a 'hustler', and which sharply contrasts with the residences he and other leaders live in now.
We set out to discover the kind of houses leaders, principally MPs, senators and governors, are living in after being elected to office, and the results were startling.
Some of the magnificent buildings clearly stand out from the rest in their neighbourhoods as they tower over everything in view, with their well-manicured lawns embellished with exotic flowers - a sure feast for the eyes.
