Kenya: President William Samoei Ruto stamped on the relation of Kenya and the United States and said that it will continue strengthening their strong diplomatic ties under the administration of the newly sworn-in President of US Donald Trump.
President Ruto noted that the policies aligned by the Trump administration with those of Kenya will further strengthen the existing bonds between the two nations. He welcomed the decision of President Trump to sign an Executive Order that directs the US Government and recognised only two biological sexes i.e. male and female as determined at conception.
Ruto noted that unlike previous policy, the directive aligns with the core beliefs of the Kenyan faith and is firmly rooted in Kenyan traditions. He stated, “This policy directive supports what we believe in: That boys must remain boys, men must remain men, girls must remain girls and women must remain women.”
The Kenyan President spoke during The Global Cathedral Sunday service that held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre’s COMESA Grounds in Nairobi. Ruto also welcomed the commitment of the Donald Trump administration to support the security support mission in Haiti that Kenya honoured to lead.
Ruto stated, “I am very proud that President Trump and the new administration support Kenya’s mission in Haiti to help the men, women and children of that nation live in peace and stability.”
Considering the recent visit, President said Kenya is in Haiti to play its internationally renowned role of security diplomacy in response to a request by the United States, last year. At the same time, President Ruto said that the country continues to show clear signs of economic stability and growth.
Moreover, he pointed out the inflation and interest rates which have significantly declined the exchange rate that stabilised.
As a result of which, President William Samoei Ruto noted that the country received very good news yesterday from Moody’s, which is a global credit rating agency that has reviewed Kenya’s financial outlook from negative to positive, while demonstrating confidence in the country’s future.
He said, “Tere are already signs that God is taking the country places.” He was accompanied by Kajiado Governor Joseph ole Lenku and Cabinet Secretaries Soipan Tuya (Defence) and Rebecca Miano (Tourism) and MPs.
