My man Uhuru met with singer Akon in the Nairobi palace for some kind of courtesy visit. Lots of touring around the palace and great pictures. It's nice to see Kenyatta smiling again after what happened this time last year on 9/24/13 when the KDF had just fought the Westgate attackers and lost some good men. Below is what the Kenyan President posted on his Facebook page.
Today, I held a meeting with U.S -based Senegalese musician, Akon, who paid me a courtesy call at State House, Nairobi. Akon affirmed his commitment to support Government’s initiative to light up Kibera and other selected parts of rural Kenya. This is part of his Lighting Africa project that aims to provide electricity to a million households across the continent by the end of the year. It is good to see that discussions on scaling up supply of power to Kenyans that we started during last month’s U.S – Africa Leaders’ Summit in Washington, DC are bearing fruits. I commend Akon for being a role model to African youths and I would like to encourage others to emulate him by investing back in their mother countries. We welcome this initiative and we will give him all the support he needs.
