President Ruto has named his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta as Kenya’s peace envoy in the region.
In his maiden address to the nation following his swearing-in as the country’s fifth president on Tuesday, Ruto said Kenyatta will be in charge of the peace initiatives that Kenya has been undertaking across the region.
Ruto pointed out that his predecessor has been instrumental in steering peace initiatives, especially in neighboring Ethiopia and Great Lakes Region which comprises the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda.
He noted that Kenyatta, whose 10-year reign ended on Tuesday, accepted his offer to be the country’s peace envoy in the region.
“On the peace initiatives in our region including both in Ethiopia and Great Lakes Region, I have asked my elder brother President Uhuru Kenyatta who has done commendable engagement with those regions and he has graciously agreed to continue chairing those discussions on behalf of the people of Kenya,” said Ruto.
The new president further assured that his administration will support all the peace initiatives that would be spearheaded by Kenyatta.
“I have committed that the government of Kenya and myself in particular will support those initiatives that will be chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta. And I want to thank you for graciously agreeing to support us and to help me in those interventions,” he added.

Uhuru should not put himself…
Uhuru should not put himself in a position where Ruto is his boss after the remarks of Gachagua during his swearing in. Maybe Ruto should give that position to his daughter Cheptoo, isn’t she already the Kenyan ambassador to Poland or is it Ukraine?

Their whole beef has been a decoy. Uhuru just retire. I’d love to see Biden give a Trump a role in the government.
