President William Ruto has said that Kenya in partnership with the United States government is building a defence college. The President thanked the US government for partnering in building the facility. In a statement on Thursday, US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman said the US is strengthening Kenya’s defence capabilities and shared security interests. As part of deepening a legacy of military training and capacity building between the two countries, in the summer of 2024, for the first time, the Kenya Defence Forces will have candidates starting courses at the U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. This will go a long way in building on a long tradition of the majority of Kenyan general officers benefitting from U.S. International Military Education Training courses.
