This week, world leaders gathered for the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), including President William Ruto. ‘
Top on his agenda was calling for reforms at UN systems, insisting that it is no longer a matter of if but when and that the time is now.
He warned that unless the organisation undergoes fundamental restructuring, it will remain undemocratic, unrepresentative and unfit for purpose.
Ruto called for urgent reform of the UN Security Council to give Africa, with its population of 1.4 billion people, a permanent voice in global decision-making.
Another issue on his agenda was the issue of the Kenya police-led the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) in Haiti.
In line with this, Ruto held a bilateral meeting with Laurent Saint-Cyr, President of the Transitional Presidential Council of Haiti, on the sidelines of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York,.
