The daughter to President William Ruto scored 406 marks in the 2019 KCPE results.

Abby Cherop Ruto was one of the top performers at Greenvale School based in Uasin Gishu County.

Her mother, Prisca Chemutai Bett, said her then 13-year-old daughter has been very promising all through her academic work.

She said the success can be attributed to the thenDeputy President William Ruto who has been very supportive.

"I know he has received the news. He is yet to send a congratulatory message but when he gets time I know he will. He has been very supportive and we appreciate his effort," Chemutai said.

Chemutai said that the school was still analysing the results, but she was sure that Ruto was among the top five candidates.

In 2017, Chemutai in a lawsuit demanded child support for her daughter who was then 10 years old.

Chemutai said she was Ruto's ex-college lover.

Accusing him of "abruptly" abandoning them after he became DP, Chemutai said she lived in poverty because Ruto had neglected all parental responsibilities.

But in a quick rejoinder Ruto said his daughter was well provided for, contrary to the lawsuit's claims.

"My 11-year-old child Abby is well catered for, including her education in private boarding school," he said via Twitter.

He asked politicians and "Busybodies to keep off".
