Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura now says President William Ruto’s foreign trips have earned the country Sh2 trillion in investment opportunities and grants.
Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday, Isaac Mwaura stated that this was a result of the various international deals President Ruto has signed since assuming office.
He pointed out the investments Kenya has received from countries like the United Kingdom, the United States, and China.
“If you have Ksh.900 billion investment in our country, it is going to be a game-changer. The biggest project they have is the railway city here in Nairobi that is going to revolutionize our urban transport system,” he stated.
The Government spokesman enumerated the recent signing of a Sh8.7 billion agreement with the United States’ Millennium Change Corporation (MCC) to finance the acquisition of electric buses for Line 2 of Nairobi’s Bus Rapid Transit system.
He further stated that the President has signed MoUs in trade, ICT, energy, transport, education, labour, and security, opening the country to business opportunities.

“If we have 350,000 Kenyans going abroad imagine the kind of money that is being sent home if we are currently getting about Sh750 billion from Kenyans abroad,” Mwaura said.
He also stated that Kenya has bagged $75 million in green investment to boost its climate action efforts, adding, that the President has also had talks with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky to have a grain hub in Mombasa.
Other achievements Mwaura said are Kenya’s embassy in Senegal, the establishment of the Kenya-Djibouti Council, and China’s recent canceling of visa application appointments for Kenyans.
The explanation comes after criticism from the opposition and a section of Kenyans over Ruto’s foreign trips.
