Popular Kalenjin comedian Kimutai Ruto aka Propesa famed for the ‘Hallo William’ viral clips is on a direct path to owning a sleek Range Rover if a bet with SportPesa CEO Ronald Karuri goes as he envisages.
Speaking to SDE, Kimutai stated that he got a call from his friend Karuri informing him earlier in the month that England’s Hull City were coming to Kenya.
Excited, Kimutai challenged Karuri, who is supporting Gor Mahia in the historic tie with the English club, to a bet.
According to Kimutai, money was not an option to Karuri so his team decided to up the stakes by asking for the keys to one of his Range Rovers should Hull win.
On his part, Kimutai wagered his Probox (pictured above) pegging his chances on The Tigers to maul the Kenya Premier League giants.
And he agreed!
“Tulikaa chini na team yangu tukaamua tuweke Probox ya kampuni yangu.Tulibet mbele ya watu, akiwa hapo. Gor ikishinda Hull anaenda na Probox. But Hull ikichapa Gor hio Range Rover nachomoka nayo! Infact alikua atengeze video aweke in public hii bet but naskia alienda South Africa,” said Kimutai.
The probox will definitely be a sight to behold in Karuri’s expanding garage that already boasts a Bentley Continental GT, Maybach S600, Range Rover and a Rolls-Royce.
So, is Kimutai and team targeting the pricey Range Rover? With an alleged salary of Sh10 million per month, Karuri can replace it in a flash. Let the countdown begin!
