| President Uhuru Kenyatta is seen off by Deputy President William Ruto |
President Uhuru Kenyatta left for Israel on Monday afternoon for a
three-day state visit aimed at cementing trade, investment and security bonds.
Uhuru Kenyatta expects that cooperation on security and
intelligence sharing will be heightened amid new increasing threats, said State
House spokesman Manoah Esipisu.
Esipisu noted in a televised address that other than disaster
management and security, Kenya has benefited from cooperation in agriculture
and irrigation, health, water and sanitation and education.
He said that the continued
assistance from the government of Israel has been through Israel’s agency for
International Development Cooperation (MASHAV).
Uhuru and his entourage were seen off at Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport by Deputy President William Ruto and other senior
government officials.
