Babu Owino acts as Uhuru’s bodyguard in Kisumu (Photo)

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday toured the land of Kisumu via Kisumu International Airport, where he was officially received by ODM leader Raila Odinga and his Deputy William Ruto.

His two days tour in the area is the first one since the historic handshake between him and Raila on March 9, 2018.

The tour also marked some good moments between Raila nd Ruto, who have been political rivals for a long period of time. The president immediately started his mission in the region, where he first commissioned the construction of the Ahero Interchange in Kisumu.

The President’s main agenda in the region is to launch the universal healthcare cover in Kisumu, among other projects. However, while traversing the region, Embakasi East Member of parliament seemed to have been acting as Uhuru’s bodyguard.

The vibrant legislator hanged besides President Kenyatta’s vehicle, the place personal bodyguards normally hang, as the president moved around addressing Kisumu residents. Could he have also secured a new job as President Uhuru’s errand boy?

The lawmaker looked relaxed, seemingly enjoying the President’s address, with President Kenyatta at some point holding his hand.

Uhuru is expected to tour Nyanza’s Siaya County tomorrow, where they (Him and Raila) will be honored by Jaramogi Oginga University with honorary doctorates for their efforts to restore peace in the Country through their historic handshake.

This will happen during the University’s graduation ceremony tomorrow which the duo have been scheduled to attend.
