Kenya’s diplomatic relations with America could be dealt a staggering blow following concerns in Washington about President William Ruto’s pro-China remarks in Beijing last month.
The Star has established that Ruto’s speech at Peking University, one of the top learning institutions in China, has found its way into the US Senate, with a section of American legislators openly calling for a review of US relations with Kenya.
Interestingly, at the time of Ruto's China trip, a separate US Congress report showed that the Kenyan leader was a most sought after African president by the Donald Trump administration.
He had been called more times than any other African leader by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
In his speech, Ruto had described Kenya and China as co-architects of a new world order, apparently referring to geopolitical shifts advocated by other powers such as China and Russia.
