The tour of the US will end with the presidential aspirant meeting with Kenyans in the diaspora.
“In London, Ruto will meet senior UK Government officials, visit the NationalCounter-Terrorism Center and speak at both the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House). He will also engage the Kenyan Diaspora in the UK, and pay a courtesy call on the archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby,” Ababu added.
The trip, the former Foreign Affairs CAS said, will seek to further strengthen ties between Kenya and its traditional friends.
