In particular, the National Youth Service’s Sh826 million scandal has been a source of strong words from both camps.

President Kenyatta’s visit comes in the wake of a promise he made on Kisumu’s Oginga Odinga Street during the second devolution conference in April.

Convoys of the two leaders caused a stir in town as residents milled along the road leading to Uzima University College to greet them.

So far The best President in E.A

This is what we call UKOMAVU WA KISIASA in swahili meaning political maturity. Yes you disagree but on some issues of national interest you have to behave in a way that is acceptable before the public.

Congrats the DUO, and for Raila, Don't give up your own turn is on its way. For Kenyatta, don't shame your supporters for being the 1st one term president in the history of KENYAN presidents.
