In a separate event at State House, Nairobi, President Ruto met with the President of the Pan-African Parliament, Zephaniah Charumbira, and other officials to discuss the future of the African Union (AU).

He stressed the need for institutional reforms within the AU to better serve its 55 member states.

Ruto highlighted that the AU Commission should be given more decision-making authority, while the Pan-African Parliament should be granted oversight and legislative powers over the Commission.

The meeting underscored Kenya’s commitment to strengthening continental cooperation and empowering African institutions to address the challenges faced by the region, including security and governance.

Both events at State House showcased Kenya’s leadership in promoting regional stability and advocating for a stronger, more effective African Union.
