Last night Sunday 21, K24 Tv journalist Anne Kiguta had an exclusive interview with the Deputy President William Ruto at his official residence in Karen.

Under the hashtag #RutoOnPunchline that went viral for the better part of Sunday, Kenyans shared their opinions and concerns on how the interview was conducted.

Some accused DP Ruto of not answering questions to their satisfaction.

Here are some of the sentiments:

William Ruto while on #RutoOnPunchline with @K24Tv's Anne Kiguta blamed the Double Stolen Elections (which @RailaOdinga never participated) for stalled Stadium Projects

Ruto has differences with Uhuru but he is not attacking Uhuru directly. Strategist. If it was Raila, the government would be upside down now with ministers allied to him openly attacking the President. #RutoOnPunchline

Where we're going, President Uhuru Kenyatta and Dp Ruto should always be interviewed together because you people want to pin Ruto on things Jubilee has not done well and on another side you praise the president for what Jubilee has done good. Double standards! #RutoOnPunchline

Almost all #RutoOnPunchline @K24Tv @AnneKiguta followers were interested in understanding DP @WilliamsRuto's bank balance, yet their spouses would be divorced on grounds of indiscipline, if they triggered such an inquiry towards them!

William Ruto is not a threat to our economy as people have been manipulated to believe.
This man Ruto is a threat to the three dynasties#RutoOnPunchline @WilliamsRuto @K24Tv @AnneKiguta
