Uhuru seeks First Lady’s permission to get “someone” from Kisumu – VIDEOS
Residents of Kisumu county on Thursday showed love for President Uhuru Kenyatta and he loved them right back.
The Head of State expressed his love for the county and even went ahead to say that he would seek his consent from his wife, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta, to get “someone” from Kisumu to help and feed him whenever he is in Kisumu.
Kenyatta, who was accompanied by ODM leader Raila Odinga in his Kisumu tour, shared his plans at the podium leaving those in attendance rolling with laughter.
“Sijui kama mama nyumbani ataniruhusu…akiniruhusu labda naweza kupata mtu wa kuwa ananitengenezea mambo yangu pande hii…ndio tuwe tunatembea ukijua kuna pahali utakula ugali.”
(Translation: I don’t know if my wife at home will permit me….if she does maybe I can get someone to take care of me these sides …so that when we visit we know we have somewhere to eat some ugali.)
