Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has defended foreign trips by President William Ruto saying they are for the good of the country. Mudavadi says with the current difficult moment Kenya is facing and what is happening globally as far as the economic situation is concerned it calls for an aggressive foreign policy and diplomatic onslaught. “The Presidents missions are so critical and essential more-so at this moment and time when resources globally are scarce and there is heightened competition for those resources. You cannot afford to have a situation where a nation is sitting laid back and imagine that it will roll those foreign resources and that foreign direct investment to come to your base,” said Mudavadi. Moi Lemoshira the Director General Political & Diplomatic Affairs, and Amb Kimani Kaberia the Director General Foreign Service Academy among other top-ranking staff were present.
