While in the U.S., he reiterated the government’s dedication to developing strategies that support Kenyans working overseas and expanding job availability through new programs designed to send workers abroad.
Additionally, President Ruto participated in discussions at the UN summit focused on future initiatives and global cooperation.
His remarks reflect a broader strategy by the Kenyan government to enhance employment prospects for its citizens internationally while fostering stronger ties with global institutions.
