President Uhuru Kenyatta visited his former campus, Amherst College in Massachusetts from where he graduated from in 1985.
Citizen Digital on Saturday, September 28, 2019, reported that the president used the opportunity to interact with Kenyan students.
“A video from the short session shows President Kenyatta cracking jokes with seven students as he gives them advice on how to succeed in their studies at Amherst,” the Royal Media news website posted.
The head of state graduated from Amherst College with a degree in Economics & Political Science.
Uhuru had travelled to the US for the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) that is scheduled to end on September 30.
During his address at the high level conference, President Uhuru Kenyatta appealed to United Nations member states to support Kenya's bid for a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council during the elections slated for June 2020.
"When the world had given up on our region, we opened our doors to millions of people fleeing insecurity. To this day, we host hundreds of thousands of refugees.
"Our investment in the Sudan negotiations led to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005. We continue to support stabilization efforts in both Sudan and South Sudan.
"When the world had turned away from Somalia, we engaged and invested in the Eldoret and Mbagathi peace processes that led to the formation and hosting of the Transitional National Government in Kenya, and formation of Transitional Federal Government in Somalia.
"We have contributed more than 40,000 peacekeepers and engaged in post-conflict reconstruction and development efforts across the world.
"We, therefore, hope that our experience, competencies and unrelenting search for peace and prosperity in our neighbourhood, on the continent and the wider world, will persuade the entire UN Membership to support the African Union candidate, for the non-permanent seat of the United Nations Security Council during the elections slated for June 2020.
"I request for the vote of each and every member of the United Nations family," President Kenyatta appealed to fellow heads of state.
