As Kenyans continuous to speculate on Ruto’s failed trip to USA and Canada, More suspicions as to why the already planned trip had to be canceled at its final stages have emerged.
Political analysts and sources now suspect that the Dp’s trip to the USA might have been canceled after the United States issued a statement saying that the corrupt individuals from Kenya might not be allowed entry into the US
Ruto has been mentioned adversely in corruption cases in Kenya and this has damaged his reputations internationally although he has not been found guilty of any of the allegations by any court of law in Kenya.
Speaking in Nairobi during the Junior Achievement Organisation 100 years celebration, US ambassador to Kenya Kyle McCarter warned corrupt Kenyans will neither be allowed into the US nor pay for their children’s education there.
“You cannot allow somebody to steal Sh 20 billion and fine them Sh 10 billion. We deal with thieves in a very brutal way, not even according to the law. Somehow, we tolerate the theft of billions in Kenya. If we stop tolerating thievery, Kenya will be a shining star for democracy and prosperity in Africa,” he said.
DP William Ruto’s anticipated trip to the US and Canada has been canceled last minute, just four days after Ambassador McCarter’s announcement.
Interestingly, the US ambassador made the statement while in presence of the DCI director George Kinoti, and vowed United States was behinds the DCI ‘100 percent.’ It then evokes curiosity as to whether Kinoti furnished the ambassador with intelligence regarding Ruto’s visit to his country prompting him to cancel his visa.
Initial reports had indicated that Dp Ruto was stopped by the state from departing citing President Uhuru Kenyatta’s departure to South Africa on the same day. The law states that the two cannot be out of the country at the same time forcing Ruto to cancel his trip.
These however continue to be speculations until the government gives an official communication on the same.
