Wednesday, May 22, 2024 - The United States government has stated that it did not pay for President William Ruto’s private jet to America on Sunday.
The high cost of Ruto’s flight
to the U.S. has elicited debates in the country after it emerged that the trip
would cost around Sh200 million.
A spokesperson of the US Embassy
in Nairobi denied the reports but said the U.S. government would be responsible for
all the bills while President Ruto is in the U.S.
This will include transport, accommodation, and food.
The only thing the Kenyan
government will cater for are allowances for the Kenyan delegation and
transport from the U.S. back to Kenya.
“Just to be clear: The United
States of America did not pay for President Ruto’s jet to the US,” said the
spokesman.
The U.S. has also vowed to support
Kenya in health, governance, the war on corruption, institutional strengthening,
civil society, and free press.
