Ruto had his way in picking Azimio leaders to US trip

In that delegation, we also had journalists from local media and artists who the president found necessary to be a part of his delegation, and there is really no way the US government would have also asked for their presence.

In that explanation, Azimio leader's spokesperson Dennis Onyango tried to draw parallels with former US President Barack Obama's visit to Kenya and Ethiopia in 2015. In the Obama delegation, of the 20-member delegation of lawmakers, consisting of three senators, there was only one Republican, former senator for Arizona, Jeff Flakes. The rest consisted of 17 members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
