Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has landed in Washington, DC, after an invitation from the United States government. In a statement from the Prime CS's office on Tuesday, May 6, revealed that the visit was aimed at strengthening long-standing ties between Kenya and the US.
This is the first high-level meeting between Kenya and the US since President Donald Trump took office in January.
Trump and Ruto have held talks on calls, with the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also making several calls to Nairobi, but, with Kenya positioning itself as the gateway to East Africa, Trump's government is making fresh inroads at the State House.
One of the key points of focus during the engagements will be trade and investment, with Mudavadi expected to push for the renewal of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) - the trade agreement which opened U.S.
