These are President Uhuru Kenyatta’s 2015 highlights

Pictures of President Uhuru Kenyatta have been flooding the internet this year in official and unnoficial capacities.

Uhuru Dancing

He danced with Rufftone this month when he invited the veteran gospel singer to the State House end of year staff party.

Mugo Karuga, 72, who hails from Kirinyaga, was the driver of President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta’s security detail back in the 70’s.

In an interview with Kenya’s Mwakilishi.com, Mugo nostalgically recalled one incident when barefoot school children visited Gatundu to entertain Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

“As the children started entertaining the president, I saw Uhuru rush to the dais and whisper something to his father. The young boy (Uhuru) immediately removed his shoes and joined the choir,’’ he recalled.

Uhuru said he removed his shoes because he wanted to be like the other children.

After the children had entertained the president, Mzee summoned Karuga and gave him instructions to take the children to the nearest Bata shop, which was then in Thika Town, and buy each a pair of new shoes.

“Had Uhuru not requested his father to remove his shoes and join the children in the choir, perhaps Mzee would not have seen the need to buy shoes for the children who had entertained him,’’ he said.

Supporting Kenyan brands

In December, Kenya hosted the World Trade Organisation’s 10th Ministerial Conference. In line with African culture where drums were used to announce important matters, President Uhuru Kenyatta officially opened the conference by beating a drum.

Here’s an image of President Uhuru Kenyatta in a tractor in Kakamega before proceeding to Lwakhakha in Bungoma County where he officially opened a Border Point between Kenya and Uganda.
