When will African leaders learn? For how long would Africa continue like this? During the 2023 African Leadership Ceremony with Mo Ibrahim, Kenya President Ruto was the first to bring to everyone's attention the fact that African leaders are usually treated like schoolchildren, without respect. In a speech that received a standing ovation and projected Ruto as a champion of Africa, stressed that African leaders are elected by their people and deserve the same level of respect as leaders from any other part of the world. Referring to the 2023, US - Africa summit, President Ruto said that during the summit, 50 African leaders were present but were unable to have a one-on-one meeting with President Biden. He went on to criticize these types of arrangements where African presidents travel the world to meet with the leader of one country, stating that it was unfair.

In his own words, “There is a debate that is going to evolve. Like for example, we have also decided that it will not be business as usual. We have these meetings: Africa-US Meeting, Africa-Europe, Africa-Turkey, Africa-India, Africa-Russia, and Africa-Japan.“We have made the decision that it is not intelligent for 54 of us to go and sit before one gentleman from another place. And sometimes we are mistreated. We are loaded into buses like school kids. It’s not right. It’s not right. So the decision that we have made as AU is that going forward if there is going to be a discussion between Africa and any other country, we are going to be represented by the chair (of the African Union Commission).”
