Sources indicate that President William Ruto has Ford Foundation leaders’ phone numbers, given that they dine together and even dress similarly at a few past events.
The Ford Foundation sponsored the Majority Whip and Deputy Majority Leader in the National Assembly for an oversight trip, according to this document from Parliament.
The Ford Foundation assured the media in a statement that it has not sponsored any protests and reminded Ruto that one of their recent sponsorships in Kenya was the Africa Climate Summit, which he proudly hosted last year.
They have also reminded President Ruto that they wined and dined together during his state visit to the U.S. and had some enjoyable times. Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, even attended the White House dinner in honour of President Ruto.
Ford Foundations partly sponsored President William Ruto’s 2022 campaigns and added that they had nothing to do with protests in the country.
The government spokesperson previously informed the public that Russia sponsored the anti-finance bill and anti-bad governance protests.
Later, government bloggers revealed to Kenyans that Mt. Kenya billionaires were their sponsors.
President Ruto has now informed Kenyans that the Ford Foundation sponsored the protests. The Ford Foundation aligns ideologically with the Democratic Party. The Party of President Joe Biden. Less than two months ago, Joe Biden welcomed Ruto with open arms.
Ruto spoke passionately about democracy during his visit to the Carter Centre in the US, which receives significant funding from the Ford Foundation.
During their meeting, VP Kamala Harris mentioned the Ford Foundation as one of the organizations that have helped Kenya drive digital inclusion. Ruto and his delegation clapped in appreciation.
Now, political analysts say, at what point did the Ford Foundation and its allies turn against Ruto, who has spent more time out there with them in the last two years than he has spent with us here?
Now, what is Gordon Opiyo, a government blogger, doing after spending the last two weeks informing Kenyans about the funding of protests by Mount Kenya billionaires?
Now that the Mt. Kenya billionaires have funded the Ford Foundation, which in turn has funded the protests, what actions will Mwaura take in response to his Russian narrative?
