That the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta, is a man of
showbiz cannot be doubted. Unlike his predecessors, Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Moi
and Mwai Kibaki, he is unique. He has sought to demystify The Presidency.
1. He has opened State House to the public by hosting
ordinary citizens and personally showing them around.
2. He has held up close and candid interviews with the media.
3. His romance with the Deputy President, William Ruto, and cracking jokes was never seen with those before him and their deputies
4. He has taken selfies.
5. He has oftentimes put the suits aside and appeared in casual wear.
6. Which other Kenyan President did you hear leading in a song?
7. He has personally ridden motorbikes and driven cars. He even rode in a school bus.
8. He publicly stopped politicians from referring to him as “Mtukufu Rais”.
9. By his orders, the queer tender for airlifting Presidential speeches was dismissed.
10. He has ‘adopted’ talented learners offering to empower their lives academically and financially.
11. He has been to Tanzania by road, stopping for some juicy nyama choma.
12. He has mingled with the common mwananchi like enjoying a chat with a tout, maize vendor and recognizing his supplier of newspapers.
13. He has dined in a common hotel and visited a public beach.
14. He has swept the streets.
15. His presence on social media cannot go unnoticed.
16. On a phone’s loudspeaker, he halted the demolition of citizens’ properties.
17. He featured on adverts for Uwezo Fund and installation of CCTV cameras in major cities and towns.
18. Unable to attend the wedding of his friend Rough tone, he sent a signed card (and methinks, a present).
19. Even put aside his power and played the part of a pallbearer.
20. He has personally supervised the destruction of a ship laden with drugs.
21. Only yesterday he appeared in nicely-fitting military uniform reminding us all that he is still the HEAD of State and Government, COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the Kenya Defense Forces and the chairperson of the National Security Council.
