<\/p>\nNational Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang\u2019ula has reaffirmed that Kenya’s foreign policy is determined and administered solely by President William Ruto.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Friday morning during a courtesy visit by Algerian Ambassador H.E. Mahi Boumediene, Speaker Wetang\u2019ula urged government agencies to exercise caution in their diplomatic engagements to ensure alignment with established policies.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cKenya\u2019s foreign policy is determined, administered, and directed by the President and the National Government. No other person or agency can engage in foreign policy outside the framework set at the presidential level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As Kenya reviews its foreign policy to align with global realities and leverage international connections for economic growth and improved livelihoods, Wetang\u2019ula emphasized the importance of adherence to these guidelines to achieve national aspirations and objectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny other individual or position does not represent the official stance of the Republic of Kenya and its people,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the meeting, the Speaker expressed gratitude to Algeria for honoring its commitment to support Kenya\u2019s candidate, Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, in the African Union Commission Chairmanship bid.<\/p>\n
He noted that this support underscores the strong ties between the two nations.<\/p>\n
The discussions also focused on strengthening bilateral relations, particularly in technology, higher education, health, energy, and petroleum.<\/p>\n
These talks built upon engagements initiated during Wetang\u2019ula\u2019s visit to Algiers last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe appreciate Algeria\u2019s support in providing scholarships for Kenyan students. Many Kenyans are pursuing studies in your country, and your generosity has significantly contributed to enhancing Kenya\u2019s technological space through technology-based courses,\u201d Wetang\u2019ula stated.<\/p>\n
As part of Parliament\u2019s commitment to deepening parliamentary diplomacy, the Speaker extended an invitation to the President of the Algerian Parliament to explore further avenues for collaboration between the two nations.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Additionally, he reiterated his appreciation for Algeria\u2019s support in Kenya\u2019s African Union Commission Chairmanship bid, where former Prime Minister Raila Odinga was a candidate.<\/p>\n
As Muslims worldwide prepare for the Holy Month of Ramadan, Wetang\u2019ula extended his heartfelt wishes: \u201cRamadan is a period of reflection, prayer, generosity, and a manifestation of humanity in line with the Holy Quran and the teachings of Prophet Mohamed. I wish all Muslim brothers and sisters a peaceful Ramadan filled with prayer and hope for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
