PRESIDENT UHURU KENYATTA EXHIBITS UNMATCHED POLITICAL MATURITY ON SONKO ISSUE.

President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday, October 18, termed Sonko’s 'acting President' remark as a non-issue that should not be given much prominence by media.
Speaking at State House Nairobi, where the President hosted the Accountability Summit – a convention which brought together different stakeholders in the media, clergy, security department, government agencies, business community to discuss perennial and emerging issues like corruption and insecurity respectively –, Uhuru said regardless where he is, he remains the elected President of the Republic of Kenya – so long as he is still in office.
“Don’t bother about what people say at funerals, weddings and all these other issues. I have only on one occasion left the office of Presidency. Whether I am in Togo, I am still President of the Republic of Kenya. Only once when some people took me to some funny court out there and I signed a piece of paper, leaving my deputy (William Ruto) to act as President; any other occasion, 'wacha media waseme vile wanataka kusema' (Let the media report what they want).
