Bullshit! Stupid pr campaigns,

[@zephaniarutlokwana2891]

Obvious Kenya will have less to offer than raw materials. Ruto should propose beneficiation done Kenya in all raw materials. He should propose science student exchange between the two countries. No loans from IMF and World bank for Kenya

[@zephaniarutlokwana2891]

Lastly don't agree to USA military based in Kenya. America take raw materials from Africa and export military bases to Africa.

[@dwhoop7045]

America has done nothing for the people of kenya or Africa 😂

Stop fooling us around.This trip is no gain to Kenya at all, talk like people who are knowledgeable. Nothing,watch me.
