By DPPS

Deputy President William Ruto left the country Thursday morning for an official bilateral trip to four African countries. He will visit, Congo, Gabon, Nigeria and Algeria.

The trip is a follow-up to an invitation by leaders of the countries to President Uhuru during his inauguration. The Deputy President is representing the President on the official engagements. This follows the emphasis by the government and President Uhuru that the next frontier of the country’s partnership is the African continent. “We believe with strategic leadership we have in the region, Kenya needs to establish a partnership with countries in the South, West, North and Central Africa,” said Ruto.
