President William Ruto on Sunday left the country for a State Visit to the United States accompanied by First Lady Rachel Ruto and close to a 30-member delegation. What caught the eye is that Ruto appeared not to be boarding the Harambee One presidential jet that he has been using for State visits. President William Ruto inspects a guard of honour at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport after jetting back from Europe on Thursday, March 30, 2023. Instead, the new jet that Ruto used had a yellow and blue strip instead of the Kenyan colours. The Office of the President did not issue a statement on why Ruto opted to use a different plane instead of Harambee One.
