Stern test as Ruto moneymen face key lenders amid slowing economy

President William Ruto's top two moneymen are this week making key appearances on the international stage, presenting themselves with the biggest opportunity for global economic leaders and investors to gain valuable clues on where they aim to steer policy.

Ruto's economic team is facing its first major international test this week at the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Group being held in the United States capital Washington D.C., amidst domestic economic challenges and recent public protests against proposed tax measures.
