A viral manipulated video insinuating that Deputy President William Ruto affirmed that he built his political career through corruption is false and misleading. The video stemmed from an interview hosted by BBC Africa's journalist, Immanuel Igunza, held on Wednesday, July 20. "I have grown my career from corruption," the altered clip stated. However, in the original BBC Africa interview, Ruto defended his hustler narrative, explaining that he started as a chicken seller and rose to the second highest position in the country.
