In September, President William Ruto signalled Kenya's readiness to adopt electric vehicles by driving himself, in one, to the venue for the Africa Climate Summit, at Kenyatta International Convention Centre, in Nairobi. It was, apparently, his way of showing the country's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the global dream of a clean environment. Kenya aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30 per cent by 2030.
