The President spoke on Monday, October 31, when he met a US delegation led by US Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Dr. Jewel Bronaugh at State House, Nairobi. She was accompanied by US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman, Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen, and Nebraska Deputy Secretary of State Cindi Allen, among others.

This comes barely a month after President Ruto hosted Amb. Mike Hammer, the US Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa, in State House. 

Mr.  Hammer affirmed US efforts in supporting peace and security in the Horn of Africa, particularly in Ethiopia and DRC, and thanked Kenya for her continued pivotal role in anchoring stability in the region.
