BY BARAKA SIMBA
President William Ruto, currently on an official visit to the United Kingdom after a stopover in France, is pushing Kenya’s development agenda through key international engagements.
While in the UK, the President attended the Market Open ceremony at the London Stock Exchange (LSE), held at Paternoster Square, marking the official start of trading. While addressing participants, Ruto expressed optimism about the role of capital markets in national development.
“We are witnessing the growing potential of equity and debt markets as platforms for financing national development,” he said.
He added that Kenya will leverage the expertise of global institutions like the LSE to strengthen the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).
“With rich experience drawn from the London Stock Exchange, we will make the Nairobi Securities Exchange more robust and vibrant to further this vision,” he noted through his social media handles.
Ruto’s UK itinerary also included a visit to King’s Cross Railway Station, one of Britain’s major transit hubs. He underscored the importance of efficient infrastructure and committed to delivering similar systems in Kenya.
