“Hearty congratulations Nick Ruto for being admitted to the bar. As you begin a career in the legal profession, may you stand true to your calling as a defender of justice, human rights and an avid campaigner for equality and truth,” he tweeted.

Nick was, in December, gazetted as an advocate of the High Court of Kenya.

The younger Ruto successfully completed the Kenya School of Law programme and passed the exam allowing him to be admitted to the bar.

In a previous event hosted by the African Bar Association, DP Ruto joked that he couldย take up law as a careerย in the future.

Speaking at theย official opening of the African Bar Associationย (AFBA) annual summit in 2018, the DP thanked the organizers for gifting Presidentย Uhuru Kenyattaย and him with a ‘gown’ and a Certificate of Honour.

“I want to be grateful to theย AFBA for two gifts, one is this beautiful gown. I have been told by their president that I can keep it. I am very grateful.

“I am also grateful for the certificate given to me.ย I intend to use the certificate to file for my practicing (as a lawyer). Hopefully, it will get me somewhere in the process of application,” the DP stated drawing thunderous laughter from the crowd.
