Deputy President William Ruto Set to Visit the White House
Deputy President William Ruto is on Thursday expected to visit the White House.
Ruto is scheduled to hold a meeting at the US National Security Council at the White House, according to Hussein Mohamed, the director of communication for Ruto's Presidential Campaign Secretariat.
"The Deputy President will later today visit the White House for a meeting at the National Security Council," Hussein said in a statement.
On Wednesday, Ruto and his delegation held a meeting with the US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Molly Phee at the State Department in Washington, DC.
Various issues touching on the economy, governance, and the August 9th general elections were discussed during the meeting.
"Dr. Ruto together with his Kenya Kwanza Team counterpart Musalia Mudavadi further committed to a peaceful election on their part while assuring the U.S of a steady and robust partner in the bilateral relations between the two countries," Hussein said.
He added: "He further underscored Kenya’s position as an anchor state for peace and stability in the East and Horn of Africa region but cautioned against political and economic exclusion that threatens the country’s revered status in the region, two issues he termed as core in the August 2022 election."
Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency in the forthcoming elections, has held several meetings and public addresses on leadership and governance since his arrival in the US on Sunday.
He will then head to the UK later this week where he will meet senior UK government officials, visit the National Counter-Terrorism Center and speak at both the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House). Ruto is also expected to pay a courtesy call on the Archbishop of Canterbury, His Grace Justin Welby.

Like I had stated before, hate him or love him, RUTO IS A SMART HUSTLER.
But, the cold war is BACK ON SURFACE.
USA,has to build an ARMS ARSENAL BASE IN KENYA, to counter, CHINA and RUSSIA.
This year's elections are not between RUTO and RAILA. IT'S BETWEEN USA and RUSSIA/CHINA.

MP Keter put it correctly that when Ruto steals poor people’s money and then he buys toys, Ruto should register all those helicopters in his name and Rachel.
A very good reminder that Ruto is the wrong guy to be the next president!

It also has nothing to do with democracy because Ruto is the biggest violator of both policy and democracy. This is so hypocritical and Ms Phee must understand what is at stake welcoming Ruto to the White House!

Ms Molly Phee - DP Ruto is the most corrupt Kenyan in the whole of Africa. Ruto is representing his own greed and material interests and not those of the Kenyan people!
It is literally disappointing to see WSR invited to the White House, the American people’s seat of democracy.
If you did not know Ms Phee, Ruto killed over 37 women plus children in the wake of the Eldoret massacre in 2007. He burned those Kenyans alive and in addition forcefully removed other Kenya from the Rift Valley and stole their land and businesses.
My own sister is one of those Ruto kicked out of Eldoret in the wee hours of the night never to get a chance to return to her home and business. It is very painful to see a white woman receiving DP Ruto to the White House without any regard of those kenyans William Ruto killed. It’s really quite shameful!
Ruto is blackmailing the course of democracy and justice to be allowed to set his feet on the hollowed grounds of the American White House!

US Assistant Secretary of State for Africa Molly Phee is the person Ruto met. This visit is not currently important to USA and it was planned at the wrong time. Response of who meets you in the USA speaks volume.

Ruto’s teeth have been whitened with the stolen money. Surely any one can keep an evil smile when everything he owns is gathered through corruption deals.
And behind Ruto’s bulging death are money hungry Kenyans and other who are going thirsty because Ruto stole all the money to build Kimwerer and Arror dams.
Ruto can keep lying across the world that he is a clean good man but the entire world knows that Ruto is very corrupt.

Very shameful indeed! This Ruto crook is useless. You can see Mrs Phee is very uncomfortable meeting a killer.
Surely she was briefed who she was about to meet! They are just setting Ruto up.
No woman in this world would want to meet a man who has killed women in his own country - whether black or white women! Quite pathetic!

American government knows that Ruto has a very tainted political career. They are just letting Ruto cook his goose before they can turn around and destroy him.
