Ruto is set to attend Kagame’s inauguration ceremony, which is expected to be a grand celebration of his leadership.
President William Ruto has left the country for the first time since a series of nationwide protests against punitive tax proposals in the deleted Finance Bill forced him to withdraw those proposals, thus slowing down his foreign travels.
State House spokesperson, Hussein Mohamed, announced on Sunday, August 11 that President Ruto was invited by Rwanda President Paul Kagame, who was re-elected for a fourth term in the July 15 elections.
Ruto is set to attend Kagame’s inauguration ceremony, which is expected to be a grand celebration of his leadership.
Several Heads of State and government are expected to attend the inauguration of Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame, following his overwhelming 99 percent victory in the elections.
“President William Ruto travels to Kigali, Rwanda, today at the invitation of H.E. Paul Kagame to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Kagame for his fourth term, following the successful July 15th election,” Mohamed announced in part on X.
“Under President Kagame, Kenya-Rwanda relations have blossomed, with commercial and people-to-people ties further consolidating for the mutual benefit of both countries and the region.”
Ruto, who was known for his frequent international engagements, last travelled abroad in mid-June when he attended a summit in Italy before extending to Switzerland.
