President Uhuru Kenyatta on Sunday morning engaged Kenyans in a live chat on his official Facebook page answering questions on his administration.
Through the 45-minute live chat, he addressed a number of issues among them how he met the First Lady Margaret Kenyatta.
One user asked him how he and the First Lady came to meet and eventually get married and raise a family together.
“This is an interesting one. How did I meet the first lady? When I met the first lady, she wasn't the first lady. She was just another.... wonderful, beautiful girl. Ahhhh... let me say that I first met her brother and we were in secondary school together. We became friends and through him, I managed to meet his younger sister and we started off a relationship that has lasted from high school till now and I'm thankful to God for that,” he explained
When asked whether he would hand over power to NASA chief, Raila Odinga, he stated he that he would accept the will of the people.
"I have done most if not all of what I pledged and I am campaigning across the country hoping Kenyans will give me a second term to serve them but if the will of the people is to give another I will ensure there will be a smooth transition," he assured.
He also addressed issues of corruption where he assured that he was committed as a president to fight graft in the country.
"My government is the first to set up a multi-agency [team] to curb corruption, which has always been present over the years," he stated.
Michael Ombocha from Mombasa asked about the Lamu port project which had added to the unemployment in the region through the contracting of the Chinese firms to which Uhuru responded.
"We need to create a future out of our blue economy and that is why we are investing in the Lamu port ... all of this with the objective of ensuring we create jobs for our people."
"We have made it clear to all who have gotten contracts and tenders from our country that we need out people to also benefit from these jobs," the President added.
