Ruto Seeks Investment in Europe While MPs Question Infrastructure Contracts

President William Ruto began a week-long European tour to Belgium, Norway, and Finland, aiming to attract foreign investment, expand market access for Kenyan exports, and strengthen economic ties. Separately, Kenya's National Assembly Committee on Transport and Infrastructure warned the Kenya National Highways Authority against awarding multiple road contracts to single firms, citing project delays. Meanwhile, the Kenyan government plans to establish a national marketplace for selling non-personal data, including from the eCitizen platform, to generate additional revenue.
