The shift, according to him, will broaden economic prospects, build inclusive development and unlock Kenya’s prosperity.
President Ruto spoke on Tuesday during the Kenya Investment Forum at The Law Society in London.
Hosted on the sidelines of the Africa Debate, the Forum discussed investment opportunities in Kenya. They include infrastructure, digital services, clean energy and agro-industrial value chains.
Ruto said the investment forum is a chance to expand trade by attracting investments which will be targeting exports.
The President said although Kenya is facing global headwinds such as increasing tariffs, geo-political conflicts and supply chain disruptions, its economy still has yet to be resilient.

“It will accelerate access to resources, economic opportunities and crucial services such as healthcare and education,” the President explained.
