President William Ruto has defended his frequent local and international travels, dismissing criticism from opposition leaders. Ruto insisted that every trip he undertakes is aimed at advancing Kenya’s development and strengthening the country’s position on the global stage.
Speaking during a fundraising event at SDA Kiserian Church in Kajiado County on Sunday, the President said his extensive travel schedule is part of the responsibility entrusted to him by Kenyans when they elected him to office in 2022.
“We have many people who ask why the President recently returned from abroad and then went straight to Marsabit, Kakamega and now Kajiado,” Ruto said. “That is the work I was elected to do as the Head of State. I campaigned for it because I believe God gave me an opportunity to serve in that capacity.”
