The government through the Government spokesman Isaac Mwaura has finally broken silence about the extravagant cost of Ruto’s travel budget to the US after kenyans raised concerns.
Speaking in Nakuru, Isaac Mwaura said that kenyans should focus on the benefits of Ruto’s trip to the US instead of focusing on the budget spent on the journey to the US that will cost kenyans Ksh. 200 Million.

According to Mwaura, the country is set to benefit more from the US trip and the government will recover the spent money out of the deal within no time and therefore it’s not much of a concern.
“The president has gone to look for things to benefit the country and you are asking how much the fare is. He is even going to come back with more money than has been used for the plane.”
Explaining why the government chose to use that option, Mwaura stated that it was because Ruto was the first African President to be hosted on a state visit by President Joe Biden and therefore the trip was unique.
“Don’t those people (people asking about the costs) hate Kenya? He is the first African President to be called for a State Visit by President Joe Biden.”
This comes after US Embassy dismissed reports of funding the costs of the plane and the trip to the US after kenyans raised concerns over the costs Claiming that it was a huge burden.
