SK 2 years ago 2 min read

Three days remain before Kenyans cast their votes to choose their fifth President on August 9. Time is running out.
The four candidates for president are all harboring grandiose aspirations to become elected and hold the nation’s highest and most prestigious post.
One guy, though, is looking forward to retiring, and it appears that he is thoroughly enjoying his last few weeks in office.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is leaving office this month, has spent the previous month traveling quickly throughout Kenya to announce his big legacy projects and tell Kenyans farewell.

In between project tours, Uhuru has been fulfilling commitments he made when running for president in 2013 and 2017. He has also been rallying support for Raila Odinga, the candidate he believes is most suited to succeed him.

Here is a look at Uhuru Kenyatta’s busy diary in the past month.

The new Makupa Bridge, the offshore Kipevu Oil Terminal, and the Liwatoni Fisheries Complex were among the infrastructure projects that President Kenyatta dedicated in Mombasa County. Together, they cost Ksh. 4.5 billion.

He also gave a speech on Wednesday at the Kenya Maritime Academy in Mombasa County during the ceremony to flag off 350 young Kenyan sailors who had just been hired by Celebrity Cruises of Atlanta.

The Liwatoni Fisheries Complex in Mombasa County, a state-owned fish processor that was revived as part of government attempts to foster the expansion of Kenya’s blue economy, was also formally opened by the president.
