2023 Ibrahim Governance Weekend Highlights: “Are you telling me, 54 countries, 60 years after independence cannot manage $85 million to sort out Somalia which has no government?” ~ Williams Ruto (in fact, there are 55 countries in the AU).
President Ruto, on Saturday, April 29, engaged with Sudanese-born British entrepreneur, Mo Ibrahim, while presiding over the Mo Ibrahim Foundation African Leadership ceremony at KICC.
