Wednesday, October 1, 2025 - President William Ruto turned heads once again with a high-stakes livestock purchase at the Nairobi International Trade Fair on Wednesday, October 1^st, 2025.

The Head of State placed the top bid of Ksh700,000 for a 720-kilogram Borana bull, securing it unchallenged during the auction held at the ASK Jamhuri Showground.

Ruto was joined by Agriculture CS, Mutahi Kagwe, and Nairobi Governor, Johnson Sakaja, both of whom also participated in the bidding.

Earlier, Ruto lost out on two bulls to Sakaja and Agriculture PS Paul Ronoh, who placed higher bids.

This comes just weeks after Ruto made headlines in Mombasa for buying a prized Chianina bull at Ksh1 million, outbidding Governor Abdulswamad Nassir and Senate Speaker Amason Kingi in a tense auction.

The President had initially lost out on three bulls before clinching the final round with the record-breaking bid.
