US President Joe Biden has been asked to prioritize Kenya's long-term democratic stability and growth over short-term gains. Jim Risch- ranking member of the US Senate told The Standard on Tuesday that the best deal Mr Biden could give Kenya in his engagement with visiting President William Ruto is to "encourage Kenya to strengthen its democratic institutions and serve as a beacon for its neighbors."
