Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>President William Ruto on Sunday drove himself in an electric car to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC).<\/p>\n

KICC will be the venue for the Africa Climate Summit which will be held from Monday, September 4 to 6.<\/p>\n

In a video posted online, the President is seen driving a yellow car from State House to KICC.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied by an all-electric motorcade comprising two motorbike outriders, two cars and two electric bicycles.<\/p>\n

The President visited the KICC to attend the Africa Youth Climate Assembly, a precursor to the African Climate Summit which will start on Monday.<\/p>\n

The African Climate Summit will run parallel with the Africa Climate Week which will run from September 4-8.<\/p>\n

Over 30,000 delegates are expected to attend the summit including over 25 heads of state and government.<\/p>\n

While opening the African Youth Climate Assembly on Saturday, Ruto called on the youth to unite and participate in the event.<\/p>\n

He said witnessing brilliant young minds from across the continent showcase climate solutions gives him immense joy.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“I urge you, African youth, to take action. Let us initiate this transformative shift together.”<\/p>\n
