President Ruto's private jet to the US raises eyebrows - Who paid for it? Find out the truth here!

President William Ruto's recent trip to the United States has stirred controversy over the cost of his luxury private jet. Despite speculations, the US government has denied funding the aircraft for Mr. Ruto and his entourage. The extravagant expenditure on transportation during the visit has caused a buzz both locally and internationally.

Adding to the intrigue, Iceland's Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson opted for a Kenya Airways plane, contrasting starkly with President Ruto's lavish mode of travel. The juxtaposition of the two leaders' transportation choices has sparked a social media frenzy, with netizens debating the appropriateness of such contrasting approaches.

NTV Kenya clarified that they did not foot the bill for President Ruto's jet to America. This revelation further deepened the mystery surrounding the financing of the high-cost trip. As President Ruto continues his historic state visit to the US, questions about the funding sources for his extravagant travel arrangements persist.

In a surprising turn of events, the US government has explicitly stated that they did not cover the expenses for President Ruto's private jet. This fact-check debunked earlier claims and shifted the focus back to the origins of the substantial financial resources required for the elaborate visit. Despite the denials and controversies, President Ruto's four-day state visit to the US remains a significant diplomatic event, marking a milestone in Kenya-US relations.
