A recent video has circulated on TikTok, capturing a light-hearted moment between Kenya’s President William Ruto and former U.S. President Barack Obama.

The former U.S. President’s distinct American accent seemed to present a humorous challenge for Ruto, who responded with a simple “thank you,” accompanied by a shy giggle.

The video has amused many, especially Kenyans with many humorously suggesting that Ruto might not have fully understood Obama due to his heavy American accent.
