Spending on foreign travel by President William Ruto and his Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria more than tripled in the first half of the financial year amid a push by his government to cut expenditure.
The latest data from the Controller of Budget shows that Dr Ruto’s spending on foreign trips between July and December 2022 was nearly four times that of his predecessor with the new head of State announcing his presence at the global stage with 10 trips during this period.
