Ruto no show up

government officials. Deputy President William Ruto, who is facing a crime
against humanity case at the International Criminal Court, was nowhere to be
seen.
Upon arrival, president Obama, whose father is Kenyan,

take pictures with her. The US president signed a visitors’ book as President
Kenyatta watched. Also at the JKIA to receive President Obama was President
