Saturday, June 27, 2026 - Belgut MP, Nelson Koech’s wife, Yvonne Chepkirui Kones, has sparked reactions after she was spotted wearing designer "gumboots" worth more than Ksh 2 million while taking part in a tree-planting exercise.
The luxury footwear has ignited debate on social media, with
many Kenyans criticizing what they describe as a display of opulence at a time
when many households are grappling with the high cost of living.
The photos have also revived scrutiny of Koech, a close ally
of President William Ruto.
A section of Kenyans have pointed to reports that companies
linked to him and his wife secured lucrative Government road construction
contracts worth billions of shillings, including rehabilitation works on
Waiyaki Way, Uhuru Highway and Mombasa Road.
Some have further alleged that the projects were poorly executed, accusing them of pocketing billions.
