President Uhuru Kenyatta Attacked by Kenyans Online After Facebook Live Chat

President Uhuru Kenyatta was on Sunday morning attacked on Facebook shortly after addressing issues facing Kenyans during his live chat.

Many users felt that the President did not fully address their issues and noted that the President would be defeated in the August elections.

During the live chat, President Kenyatta stated he that he would accept the will of the people if he loses in the August election.

"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 noted 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.
