JUST IN; 67 Seater Bus Crushed In Londiani..
Good morning,
Kenya’s 60th Jamhuri Day celebrations on Tuesday, 12th December did not go as planned as the absence of regional leaders cast a shadow over the event.
Kenyans read malice in the absence of neighboring leaders failing to honor the state’s invitation despite President Ruto’s active participation in diplomatic visits to other nations.
President Ruto has been branded a ‘Tourist’ president due to frequent flying out of the country and in the last few weeks, he has personally visited the East African Countries (EAC) for various events and meetings.
The EAC heads of the state failing to attend the independence day and only sending their representatives was seen as a letdown.
Even a visiting head of state from Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, who was in the country on Monday failed to attend the event.
Ruto’s influence could be dwindling regionally and also here in Kenya. The presence of school-going children at the Uhuru Gardens during the celebrations was seen as a sign of lost popularity and that Kenyans could not turn up in large numbers.
Meanwhile; here are stories making headlines on Opera News today;
