The president, who is in Paris, France for the Global Financial Pact Summit has been very vocal on issues of climate change and chiding the West and international financial institutions to make them more responsive to the needs of Africa.

It would seem that Ruto is on his continued charm offensive of the West, wooing foreign nations, as he stamps foot as the defacto sheriff.

Since ascending to office last year, Ruto has established himself in the diplomatic space and has almost been out of the country every two weeks. His speeches on Africa regaining her financial power, and on peace and security matters within the region and the larger continent have attracted praise and criticism in equal measure.

And now, many wonder how the president will score on foreign policy given his very strong opinions.
