His remarks come a month after he visited Germany and held talks with Scholz on Kenya’s collaboration with Germany.

"Enhancing the business environment and making it conducive is a top priority because we need investments to create opportunities for our young people," Ruto said after meeting Scholz.

The Chancellor on his part assured Ruto that Germany will support Kenya in its attempt to better penetrate the European Union market.

“The better access to Europe will help Kenyan firms to produce and sell more. This will accelerate employment creation and support more lives,” he said.
