Netizens react to family fashion in Governor Fernandes Barasa's photo with Ruto

Netizens have been buzzing with reactions to a recent photograph featuring Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa's family alongside President William Ruto during the President's visit to the Western region.

President Ruto took a moment to take a moment with the Kakamega first family's home in Harambee, Matungu Sub-county.

The photo included the governor, his wife, Prof Janet Kassily Barasa, and their three children.

However, it was not the presidential visit itself that stole the spotlight; it was the family's choice of fashion that set tongues wagging.

Governor Barasa was spotted wearing a Kaunda suit, while his wife, Prof Janet Kassily Barasa, donned an elegant Ankara top and dress. Their children also sported Ankara outfits.

The fashion choice, particularly the governor's attire and the Ankara outfits ignited a flurry of comments from netizens.

Some argued that the governor's clothing, seen by some as simple and unpretentious, reflected a humble lifestyle despite his high-ranking status.

Others, on the contrary, applauded the family's fashion choices, stating that they were championing the work of local tailors in Kakamega County.

There were other users who felt the governor's family wardrobe choices could have been done better.
