The incident attracted attention as the two leaders appeared to disagree during the president's visit, creating an uncomfortable moment during the public event.
The cause of the disagreement was not immediately clear, but the incident raised questions about the relationship between leaders in the region and those close to the Head of State.
President Ruto's visit to Kisii was part of his ongoing engagements with residents and local leaders. Such visits are usually aimed at inspecting development projects, launching new programmes and addressing issues affecting local communities.
Governor Arati, who is a prominent political figure in the region, has previously been vocal about political and development matters affecting Kisii County.
The exchange involving Kibet and Arati comes at a time when political relationships and competition continue to attract public attention across the country.
The incident also sparked interest among Kenyans, with many waiting to understand what caused the disagreement and whether it could affect the working relationship between the leaders.
