Charlene Ruto attacks critics over smokie business remarks. 

President William Ruto's daughter, Charlene Ruto, has silenced her detractors who took to Twitter to criticize her over the alleged Smokie business remarks while at the University of Nairobi.

In the now-viral clip shared on Twitter, Charlene Ruto can be heard talking passionately about a side hustle business that she had back in her campus days.

"I made a business of selling smokie Kachumbari, I was studying at Daystar University and that is what used to sell the most, smokie Kachumbari," started off the first daughter.

She went on to add that her dad was super supportive and encouraged her to go on with the business.

However, Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) criticized her, alleging that her background couldn't cope with such a hustle.

But even with the growing criticism, President William Ruto’s daughter has not been fazed by it and she will be attending the Daystar University alumni event.

“This Saturday, we roll our sleeves and delve into memories of the good ol’ days at Daystar University as we indulge in various delights at the Daystar Alumni Association Christmas Party,” Charlene said.

To silent detractors, Charlene said that she might even carry smokies to the event for her past customers.

“Might even carry smokies for my customers or even try my hand at smochas (Smokies that are wrapped with fried eggs and chapati). Hope you will still support this comrade because weeeeuhh…anyway.”

According to the post shared by Charlene, the Daystar Alumni Association Christmas party will be held at the main campus in Athi River from 10 am.
