Ruto’s trips are a waste of time and public funds, no investor will come to Kenya under this regime- Raila says.
Ruto’s trips are a waste of time and public funds: In an exclusive interview, Opposition leader Raila Odinga rubbished President’s Ruto’s trips around the globe saying they are a waste of time and taxpayers’ money.
Raila Outlined that Kenya kwanza has made Kenya a very unfriendly environment for an investor to think of investing because of the high taxes.
Raila stated,”We have created a very unfriendly environment for business; those already in the country are suffering because of high taxation… if the government wants to take everything from you, what is the incentive to do business? People will be looking at tax-friendly destinations,”
“You are saying you are travelling around the world to attract investors; no investor will come when those already here are not feeling comfortable.You can make so many trips to the US, to Silicon Valley, but they will ask those American companies which are already here. So, it’s a waste of time and public funds globetrotting hoping you will bring investment here,” he added.
President Ruto has made several trips to countries since taking over power in September last year and has defended them as a mission to attract foreign investors to Kenya and organise jobs abroad for Kenyans.
