Two mainstream newspapers have reported that President William Ruto has made 38 trips abroad in the past one year. That’s three trips every month!
Just the other day, he and his deputy cautioned their Cabinet members to curb their insatiable appetite for foreign travel. Some Cabinet members, the duo revealed, even change clothes at the airport. A few weeks ago, the Head of Public Service instructed civil servants to limit foreign travel to only crucial engagements. Not so long ago, Kenya sent more than 100 legislators to a legislative conference in the US.
