President Ruto jets out for visit to Switzerland

President William Ruto will Wednesday evening leave the country for a two-day visit to Geneva, Switzerland.

In a statement to newsrooms, State House Spokesperson Hussein Mohamed said the President is set to deliver a keynote address at the International Labour Conference in Geneva.

“Prior to his address, the President will engage in bilateral talks with Gilbert F Houngbo, Director-General of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), to discuss collaborative efforts in promoting social justice and ensuring dignified work for all,” said Mohamed.

The International Labour Conference will bring together global leaders, including Heads of State, the UN Secretary-General, and the ILO Director-General, to address key themes such as addressing inequalities, promoting inclusive work environments, ensuring social protection, and advancing human rights.

“President Ruto's participation in the ILO Conference underscores his dedication to championing social justice and creating an environment where all individuals can thrive,” added the State House spokesperson.
