President William Ruto is heading to the G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France. While State House frames the trip as a massive win for Kenyan diplomacy, it comes at a time when local pressure and economic strain are mounting at home.   1. The Core Agenda: Carrying Africa’s Voice ​ Kenya is one of the select non-G7 nations invited to the table.
