President William Ruto returned to Kenya on Monday, June 17, concluding his international travels that included visits to Italy and Switzerland.
His return flight from Switzerland was aboard Kenya Airways (KQ), the national carrier, a choice that underscores his recent advocacy for austerity measures to curb national debt.
President Ruto’s decision to fly with Kenya Airways contrasts with previous criticisms leveled against him in May when he used a private jet for a 5-day visit to the United States, reportedly costing Ksh 200 million. During his travels to Italy and Switzerland, details about his mode of transport were unspecified until his arrival back in Kenya aboard KQ.
