The second child of Kenyan President William Ruto, Charlene Ruto, has defended her comments on the existence of the office of the first daughter.
Kenyan law does not recognise the office of first daughter.
In a statement, Ms Ruto says the office is not a government department but is a “private entity”.
“It is neither a constitutional office nor being funded by Kenyan taxpayers. The office runs to purely facilitate the activities of and any programs being run by Charlene Ruto,” the statement said
It follows criticism over what some saw as a misuse of taxpayers’ money.
Ms Ruto has been regularly meeting leaders across the country and attending international forums meeting foreign dignitaries since her father became president.
