President Uhuru Kenyatta has been voted as Africa’s President of the year 2014/2015 for his outstanding leadership in the Africa Education and Leadership Awards.

The Head of State was selected for the awards for his ability to build consensus locally and abroad, efforts to change policies for the better and supervise solutions that address Kenya’s pressing issues.

The students who are members of the All-Africa Students Union (AASU) presented Kenyatta with the award which, among other things celebrates outstanding leadership and educational excellence.

Speaking after receiving the award at State House, the President concurred with the students over the need for more engagement between themselves and the government saying that this would prevent them from resorting to violence to express their concerns.
