President William Ruto is scheduled to deliver a significant announcement to Kenyans via recorded address at 6pm on Wednesday from Russia. The event is part of his attendance at the Third Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum, where African leaders and Russian officials convene to discuss trade, investment, and economic cooperation.

Ruto’s visit aims to fortify Kenya’s ties with Russia, open up new markets for Kenyan goods, and lure investment in various sectors such as agriculture, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, and technology. Additionally, the nation seeks enhanced access to the Russian market for its primary exports like tea, coffee, cut flowers, fresh produce, and value-added agricultural products.

While the precise topic of the announcement remains undisclosed, it could pertain to the discussions at the forum or touch upon other national matters. The address will be broadcast simultaneously on Ruto’s official YouTube, Facebook, X, Instagram, and TikTok accounts, enabling the President to communicate directly with the Kenyan populace while abroad.

Members of the media and the general public are invited to tune in via the President’s official social media platforms at the designated time.
