President William Ruto with Ethiopian president Sahle-Work Zewde and Zanzibar President Dr Hussein Mwinyi during Jamhuri Day Celebrations 2023 at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi on December 12, 2023. Ruto’s free visa gamble is a culmination of months of offering free entry to a number of nationals across the continent. Ruto made the remarks at the Uhuru Gardens when he led the nation in marking 60 years since Kenya became a republic. The president told Kenyans that the price they had paid together and the sacrifices made had rescued the country from an economic catastrophe. “After navigating our way out of a difficult and complicated debt situation, our second action is to accelerate economic progress, which is the cardinal assignment of our generation,” said Ruto.
