George Ruto Expands Matatu Business with New Fleet

George "Jruto" Ruto, the son of President William Ruto, is expanding his matatu business by adding six new customized nganyas to his fleet, which operates on various Nairobi routes, including Ongata Rongai.

The new fleet features LED-lit designs and entertainment systems aimed at enhancing the commuter experience in Nairobi's public transport sector. The unveiling of these vehicles took place in Nairobi's CBD, marking a significant investment estimated to exceed KSh 14 million, according to K24.

George Ruto is known for his entrepreneurial ventures, particularly in the matatu industry through his 98 Sacco. His business has previously attracted attention and controversy, especially regarding claims of taking over matatu stages in Nairobi.

The public conversation surrounding his business growth has raised questions about the sources of funding for his ventures, with some Kenyans speculating whether taxpayer money could be involved. However, there is currently no evidence to support claims of public funds financing his business activities. This scrutiny comes amid broader discussions about the transparency of public figures and their business dealings in Kenya.
