President William Ruto and wife Rachel Ruto were among the guests at the United Nations Development Programme’s inaugural Africa Investment Partnership Forum in New York, United States.
Ruto said the discussions centred on moving Africa from aid to investment.
Present were global CEOs, investors, international development organisations and diplomats.
"Africa must scale up policies that spur democracy and create a friendly investment environment that will stimulate job creation and wealth generation. This way, we will drive growth and reduce dependence on foreign aid," he said.
