Breakdown of President Ruto’s 63 foreign trips in 22 months

President Ruto has made 63 foreign trips in 22 months since assuming office in September 2022.

President William Ruto’s frequent foreign trips have been subject to debate among Kenyans despite the government claiming numerous times that the country stands to benefit.

“You have heard that I have toured many parts of the world and I have traveled with a plan, I am not a tourist. Because for this country to change it has to be changed and that is done by thoughts and plans,” Ruto said in December 2022.

President Ruto is currently in Italy attending the G7 meeting before he flies to Switzerland to engage with other leaders on the conflict in Ukraine.

Since coming to office in September 2022, President Ruto has made a total of 63 foreign visits across 30 countries.
