But how does President William Ruto make the East African economic lion to roar? Ethiopia and Uganda attract many times Kenya’s FDI, which is detrimental to Kenya’s international reputation, is politically costly, and is economically unsustainable. To correct the nation’s economic course, in the short term we would rebrand Kenya as East Africa’s supreme economic lion. Consider that India progressed from USD $4 billion FDI in 2000 to USD $85 billion FDI by 2022. Ruto’s underwhelming and uninspiring Riyadh performances did not progress his nation from a middling FDI nation into an FDI magnet.
