George Ruto, son of President William Ruto, was recently seen interacting with young people in Nairobi while riding his luxury matatu, Mood.
Videos circulating online showed him seated behind the DJ booth, chatting with fans and enjoying the ride around the Embakasi stage area near the city centre.
Dressed casually in a football jersey, he appeared approachable, with minimal visible security despite the surrounding crowd.
Mood, launched in 2025, is one of George’s high-end matatus, reportedly costing millions to customize.
The vehicle features loud music systems, television screens, graffiti artwork, and a DJ setup, making it a standout in Nairobi’s vibrant matatu culture.
In a separate clip, George was seen inside a smaller 14-seater matatu meeting with Kinara, a former crew member who worked on his MoneyFest vehicle. The two discussed a potential collaboration, hinting at another upcoming matatu project.
The sightings sparked mixed reactions online. Many praised him for engaging directly with youth and embracing street culture, while others humorously suggested that he might have a political future given his growing public visibility.
Some even compared his popularity among young people to that of established leaders.
George’s recent public appearances mark a shift from his previously private lifestyle, showing a more relatable and interactive side of the first son beyond his family’s political prominence.
