Deputy President William Ruto has today landed in London to advance bilateral trade and investment, education and tourism.
The DP is also expected to cement existing cooperation frameworks between Kenyan and the UK and in the process explore new opportunities ahead of Brexit.
It was earlier reported that Ruto will also deliver a lecture at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, commonly known as Chatham House on Friday this week.
Ruto’s press secretary David Mugonyi yesterday said the DP will also give another public lecture at Warwick University.
“Yes the DP will be travelling to London. He has been invited to give a talk at Warwick University on Saturday and he will also give an address at Chatham,” he said.
Ruto’s lecture at Chatham will be on Kenya’s national unity and regional integration: Challenges of Inclusion, Growth and Change. According to the London based non-profit, non-governmental organisation whose mission is to analyse and promote the understanding of major international issues and current affairs, there are still challenges facing the full implementation of the 2010, Constitution.
It still remains to be seen if the Lectures and Public Addresses will proceed as planned after sections of the media reported that they may not take place.
