Kenyan President, William Ruto, on Sunday, drove himself in an electric car to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) where the Africa Climate Summit is taking place between Monday, September 4, and Wednesday, September 6, 2023.
According to a video shared online, the President is seen driving a yellow car from the State House to KICC.
The President was accompanied by an all-electric motorcade comprising two motorbike outriders, two cars and two electric bicycles.
The President visited the KICC to attend the Africa Youth Climate Assembly, a precursor to the African Climate Summit which started today, Monday.
The African Climate Summit will run parallel with the Africa Climate Week which will run from September 4—8.
Over 30,000 delegates are expected to attend the summit including over 25 heads of state and government.
While opening the African Youth Climate Assembly on Saturday, Ruto called on the youth to unite and participate in the event.
He said witnessing brilliant young minds from across the continent showcase climate solutions gives him immense joy.
“Two months ago, under the Eiffel Tower, I called upon the youth of the world to join us in Nairobi to champion the global climate,” he said.
