Kenyan President Ruto Slammed for Hiring $1.5 Million Luxury Jet | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Kenya's President, William Ruto is on a state visit to the US. He's the first Kenyan leader to go to the US on a state visit in over 2 decades. But despite the importance of the moment, Ruto is facing fierce criticism back home. He is being slammed for chartering a luxury jet to travel to the US. Ruto hired a Boeing Business Jet from an Emirati company for $1.5 Million. This has angered the Kenyan people, who have been facing higher taxes under Ruto. Ruto has been raising taxes since he came to power in 2022, to reduce Kenya's mounting debt burden.
