President William Ruto has dispatched Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi to China to represent him in high-level talks that could unlock major trade and infrastructure deals for Kenya.
Speaking during a church service at Friends Comprehensive School in Kivaywa in Kakamega County, Ruto said the trip is aimed at securing financing for key national projects, including the extension of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) to Malaba.
Mudavadi is also expected to lobby for funding towards the construction of the Rironi-Mau Summit-Eldoret-Bungoma-Malaba highway.
Ruto noted that due to limited resources, the highway may be built in phases rather than as a single rollout.
