At the Africa Climate Summit, President William Ruto has decried what he termed as an “unfair” framework in the administration of the global financial system, saying the global West continues to disenfranchise Africans by imposing unjust debt repayment policies that are almost unmanageable. At the meeting, US Climate Envoy, John Kerry, when asked by the Nation about America’s responsibility in the loss and damage debate and whether Washington would be willing to pay Africans for the damage its industrial pollution has wrought on the continent, said the US “will be damned” to pay any form of climate reparations to developing countries.
