Ruto's Key Promises to People of Comoros as they Mark Independence Day

President William Ruto has promised abolished visa requirements for the people of Comoros who have valid travel documents. 

Addressing the country during their Independence Day celebrations, Ruto said this will be achieved before the end of the year. 

President said Comoros citizens holding valid travel documents will not be required to have visas when seeking entry to Kenya.

"I give you a commitment that Kenya shall abolish the requirement of visas for all persons holding valid travel documents issued by the Union of Comoros into Kenya, before the end of 2023," Ruto said at the 48th Anniversary of the Independence Day of the Union of Comoros.

Ruto further pledged to strengthen education ties with Comoros saying the Kenyan government will be working with them in seeing their students access learning in Nairobi at a fair price.

"To further strengthen our ties in the Education sector, we are working closely to allow students from Comoros to pursue higher education in Kenya and pay the same amount of fees as local students," Ruto said.

The Kenyan president left Kenya Wednesday evening for a three-day visit to the Union of Comoros and the Republic of Congo.

The visits are aimed to strengthen the bilateral ties between the two nations.
