Deputy President William Ruto is in Brazil to support the Kenyan team at the Olympic Games.

Kenya is participating in seven disciplines — athletics, boxing, archery, judo, weightlifting, rugby and swimming.

The DP’s support will not only boost the morale of the Kenyan athletes but will signal to the Brazilian government that Kenya values their relationship.
