by the International Criminal Court. Home Attack On 28 July 2017, Ruto's home was targeted by at least one attacker armed with a machete, and the police officer on duty guarding the residence was injured. During the time of the attack, he and his family were not at the compound as he had left hours earlier for a campaign rally in Kitale. There were reports of gunfire and several security sources said the attack was staged by multiple people. Police initially thought there were a few attackers because the attacker used different firearms. Around 48 hours later, Kenya Police chief Joseph Boinnet announced that the attacker was shot dead and the situation was under control. Personal Life Ruto is married to Rachel Chebet. The young couple first lived in Dagoretti where they had their first child. They were married in 1991 at the Africa Inland Church. He is an evangelical Christian and a member of the Africa Inland Church. He owns a considerable chicken farm in his home village of Sugoi, which was originally inspired by his stint as a chicken seller/hawker on the Nairobi-Eldoret-Malaba highway. Ruto and his wife build a chapel in their compound at their residence in the Karen suburb of Nairobi. Misinformation on various social media Various fact-checking websites, including Pesacheck, have identified and debunked several instances of misinformation related to William Ruto during the election period. For instance, one satirical poster depicting Ruto as Venezuela's President-elect was widely circulated on social media, with some people taking it as genuine. However, Pesacheck confirmed that the poster was satirical and had no factual basis. Similarly, a video claiming to show Uhuru Kenyatta visiting Ruto's office to wish him well was also debunked. The video lacked context and was taken out of its original context, leading to misleading information. Additionally, there were false claims that Ruto had endorsed candidates in various by-elections, including Kiambaa. However, Pesacheck confirmed that Ruto had not endorsed any candidates in the by-elections. Other false claims included, a video claiming to show Uhuru Kenyatta congratulating Ruto, and another video claiming to show Kenyatta acknowledging that Ruto would win the elections. All these claims were debunked by Pesacheck, as they lacked factual basis. Furthermore, a video claiming to show Ruto conceding defeat was also debunked, as it was taken out of context and did not reflect Ruto's position. See also Presidency of William Ruto List
