President William Ruto has on Thursday offered scholarship to 100 students from Comoros to study in Kenya.
The announcement follows the signing of a General Cooperation Agreement between President William Ruto and President Azali Assoumani of Comosors.
The Head of State however noted that the students will have to pay an equal amount as required in the country.
“Kwa heshima ya ndugu yangu rais wenu, serikali ya Kenya itawapatia scholarships 100 kwa watoto wa kutoka hapa Comoros. Na vile vile kwa sababu ya undugu na urafiki, na watu wa Comoros, vijana wenu wanafunzi wote wanaosomea Kenya watalipishwa kama vile wao ni Wakenya na sio wageni tena,” said President William Ruto
The two Heads of State committed to abolishing all visa requirement for holders of valid travel documents as at the end of the year so as to increase people-people interaction and improve business between the two countries.
“The free visa regime will improve people-to-people interaction and increase volume of trade between Kenya and Comoros,” read the statement.
Other areas of discussion include cooperation in areas such as Trade and Investment, Transport, Education, Tourism, Agriculture, Blue Economy and Maritime Security.
