Kenyan President William Ruto has defended his numerous visits abroad, saying they have benefited the country economically.
Ruto who has been criticised for having made the highest number of foreign trips in a year compared to any of his predecessors, insisted that through the trips, he had been able to secure jobs for Kenyans and bagged several bilateral deals.
According to him, his job as the president and ambassador is to plan on how the country will move forward, even if it involves multiple trips.
The president said he secured 350,000 jobs and investment opportunities for Kenyans during recent visits to Saudi Arabia and China.
