Kenya n President William Ruto has earned recognition as one of Time magazine's top 100 influential people, a testament to the country's achievement in hosting a successful Africa Climate Summit in Nairobi last year.
The gathering attracted leaders from across the globe and culminated in a unanimous commitment from African nations to accelerate the adoption of renewable energy over the next decade. The Time also praised President Ruto's advocacy role in urging international lenders to alleviate the debt burdens faced by several African nations. This initiative aims to free up resources for investment in climate solutions, signaling Ruto's influence on the global stage.
Last summer, protests erupted over the escalating cost of living, partly fueled by a fuel tax increase championed by the President.
