President-elect William Ruto was interviewed by CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo on why he refers to himself as hustler-in-chief.
According to a throwback video on Madowo's Instagram page, Ruto said his humble beginning pushed him to identify as a hustler.
He explained that most of the people who have politically fought him had godfathers in politics and that has worked against him in many ways.
"I am the hustler in chief since I come from very far and that sometimes has worked against me with my other competitors. You know, President Kenyatta is the son of the former President and Raila Odinga is also a son of a former vice president," he said.
Ruto added;
"So whenever they look at me and they ask me, and so, and who the hell are you? I have come to accept that I may be a child of nobody but we want to make this country a country of everybody."
Ruto empathized with equality in leadership.
"It doesn't matter your identity, it doesn't matter your background your financial status, your parents where they came from but a country of opportunity for every child."
William Ruto's presidential win in the August general elections was on Monday validated by the Supreme Court.
