The video was leaked by one of the attendees of the private party.
"Build your circle and celebrate each other. If you can, gift your friends the best you can on their special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, weddings e.t.c.
"This will help you understand the value of friendship and comprehend that gifting a friend of same or opposite gender does not amount to sexual/erotic relationship," he said.
Nick Ruto also announced that he was now officially in his 30s with a statement saying "Growing strong and wise..3rd floor is sweet."
He also clarified that his birthday was on September 9 but had chosen to celebrate in with friends on Saturday, September 11.
