Head of State William Ruto inspected a guard of honour yesterday with the head of state capturing Kenyans' attention online with his spontaneous move of stopping to fix the attire of one of the policemen.

The incident has got Kenyans talking and has divided attention on the merits/demerits of the commander-in-chief's action.

Some believe that it was a beautiful heart-wrenching moment, while others saw it as a calculated move by a suave politician.

Others meanwhile saw the reaction from Kenyans as much ado about nothing. Read some of those comments below;
