Kagame and museveni will never be taken seriously as long as they maintain those dictatorships. Kagame has gotten away with a lot because the west is still suffering from genocide guilt and most of the speeches he gives in the west concern him having to defend his human rights record and things like assassinations and kidnappings of people like Rusesababinga (hotel rwanda manager) and imprisoning dissidents, etc. etc.
Add in Museveni and his anti-homosexual stances lately and he is coming under fire.
Who else is left in the English speaking world? Tinubu? He has advanced dementia. If you heard tinubu speak, would you take nigeria seriously?
So, Ruto is the only one left standing in Africa and all kenyans should be proud that they finally have a president that can articulate issues clearly because when ruto leaves kenya, he represents the entire country and anyone looking to do anything in kenya..whether its' visiting, investing, etc....will look at him and make a determination about whether it's a country to be taken seriously or not (because as president, he is the face of the country)
I personally am very happy that he is making these speeches on the global stage. I can see he has lost weight and he is not walking around with a pot belly like so many politicians in kenya. He doesn't have red drunk eye's like uhuru kenyatta and he is wearing good quality suits. You must look presentable.
