Ruto defends foreign trips, says they are yielding results for Kenya

President William Ruto has defended his government’s programmes while hitting out at his opponents who have criticised his frequent foreign trips, accusing them of lacking patriotism and promoting divisive politics. Speaking during the 11th World Ocean Conference in Mombasa, the President maintained that his travels have continued to bear fruit through major international engagements and conferences hosted in the country during his three years in office. The government has also pledged to increase investment in the blue economy sector as part of its broader development agenda.
