Ruto says charter plane to USA cost Ksh.10 Million only
President William Ruto reiterated Thursday that the private jet hired for his recent State Visit to the United States was far much cheaper than alternatives.
In light of questions being raised about his decision to resort to a chartered plane, the head of state disclosed that he went for a cheaper option that was available to him.
In fact, President Ruto says he wanted to use national carrier Kenya Airways for the trip.
“When I saw the debate in Kenya as to how I travelled to the US, there was all manner of figures, such as this plane is big and must have cost Ksh. 200 Million because the president needed to arrive in the US in style holding Rachael’s hand,”
“I am not a madman. When I was told the cheapest plane was Ksh.70 million, I told my office to go book Kenya Airways (KQ).
