Ruto said that it will significantly enhance our national capacity to participate competitively in the global digital sector.

He added that under the Plan, the establishment of last-mile fibre-optic connectivity is intended to optimize Kenya’s digital and tech potential.

To accelerate successful performance in the other pillars of universal health coverage, affordable housing, agricultural transformation and the micro, small and medium-sized enterprise sectors.

The President was accompanied by US Ambassador Meg Whitman among other leaders.

The U.S.-Kenya Business Roadshow embarked on its journey earlier this year, commencing in New York City on April 25, with a primary focus on the apparel sector.
