The big question was how much it had cost the President and his delegation to fly to the US and back using a Private jet. Ruto, however, did not state the amount he used for the hired jet and the amount he would have spent if he had to use a Kenya Airways plane. Additional costs such as parking fees, days spent with it and landing and take-off taxes mean the total cost will rise. The Dreamliner also has 204 economy seats, according to Kenya Airways, which costs Sh264,230 for a return ticket. Hiring an entire KQ plane means paying for all available seats and this will bring the total cost of going to the US and back to Sh79,334,370.
