A short clip capturing a striking woman being gently nudged aside by the President has surfaced online, sparking a flurry of mixed reactions.

The glamorous woman, elegantly dressed with a captivating smile, momentarily diverted the attention of the Head of State from the main event he was attending.

However, with an uneasy expression and a perplexing gaze, President Ruto politely moved her aside to continue greeting others in line.

As the security detail, standing just inches away, intervened and pushed the lady aside, many Kenyans found the action inappropriate, particularly given that she was a woman.

What perplexes most observers is the nature of the conversation between the beauty queen and the President that apparently did not merit further attention.

Predictably, Kenyans online began offering various theories to explain the situation.

Kondele News sampled some few reactions from comments.

Jesse Wachira commented; I wish he would have listened to her story, that might have been the only time…

Ken_Omondi; how dare she confuse president with a smile, good work security

Sharon Wa Murang’a commented; aki woshe, si ungemsikia tu
