The government is working on strategic, comprehensive, and deliberate efforts to ensure the economy bounces back to positive growth, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said.
The Prime Cabinet Secretary reiterated that Kenyans should accord President William Ruto support for the country to realize economic prosperity.
Mudavadi affirmed that the government is pragmatic while engaging on foreign diplomacy saying the aim is to ensure Kenya gains back her international reputation and subsequently ease negotiations for business and investment.
"The economic partnerships and agreements we are signing with most of the countries are aimed at ensuring we create a ready market for our exports once we achieve stable production levels," said Mudavadi.
"When the President sends his foot soldiers in foreign countries he is aiming at ensuring we get avenues for jobs and trade for our people. We want in the near future to see Kenya exporting even sugar from our Mumias and Nzoia companies to China, the Gulf nations among other key partners we are engaging," he added.

Mudavadi said the President has realised that Kenya has a huge agricultural potential and challenged Western Kenya to emulate their peers in other regions and embrace agriculture.
He says President Ruto has worked towards restoring Kenya's confidence in developed countries and soon there will be good news in terms of increased market for Kenya's exports abroad.
"In Africa, Kenya is now at the forefront in terms of negotiating with countries that will help us get out of the economic quagmire that has made our youth lack jobs. What we need to focus on is production and value addition since the public debt menace will soon be a thing of the past," Mudavadi assured.
Mudavadi was speaking in Shieywe Ward, Lurambi Constituency in Kakamega County where he joined the President and other leaders to a thanksgiving and prayer service.
He noted that President Ruto has demonstrated immense confidence to the people of Western Kenya, with recent top government appointments drawn from the region.
