The North London side ended their 22-year wait for the Premier League crown at the end of May, sparking wild celebrations across the Kenyan capital.
"Arsenal finally closed the gap and it was a huge celebration. I was shocked in Nairobi," Ruto told Reuters in an interview at the G7 summit in France.
"It was a big celebration and I am trying to see whether sometime next year Arsenal can come to Kenya," he said.
Thousands of Kenyan Arsenal supporters took to the streets dressed in the club's red and white colours and waving flags as Arsenal saw off competition from close rivals Manchester City.
"I have sent an invitation because I think it would be a great moment for Arsenal to come to Kenya. They have great fans," Ruto said.
