President William Ruto’s daughter Charlene Ruto reflected on 2022 and the lesson learnt in her new year message to Kenyans.
The president’s third-born daughter stated that the past year taught her to accept who she is and to embrace herself fully.
“2022 taught me to accept who I am. Accept who you are. Embrace & Love that greatness within you, the influence you wield & the compassion you have for others. Accept that you may not always have the answers but you are willing to take the risks to leave your mark in this world,” Charlene tweeted.
She added that; “I can’t wait to see what 2023 holds. Happy New Year. May good tidings be your potion this entire year.“

Smokie hustle
Charlene’s new year message about embracing oneself comes weeks after she was castigated for alleging that she sold smokie kachumbari during her days as a student at Daystar University.
“I was in Daystar University and smokie kachumbari was the only thing that was selling, I was encouraged to take up the business,” she stated in an undated video that circulated on, December 7, 2022.
A section of Kenyans criticised her over her remarks and dismissed her claims stating that she was lying since she was the Deputy President’s daughter at the time.
Speaking to a Youtuber on December 10, 2022, Charlene defended her story stating that it was a true story of events that happened.
“I was somewhere talking to some university students. We were talking about savings and investment, so I thought to encourage them and tell them my story when I used to sell smokie kachumbari at Daystar,” she stated
“It’s a true story, I used to sell smokies and kachumbari and I think my classmates and people I shared my dormitory with can attest to that, so I have an experience of what the Kenyan youth undergo in different circumstances,” she added.
