President Uhuru Kenyatta spared his Sunday afternoon, July 19, to spend time with Kenyans in downtown Nairobi.

According to a video obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the Head of State is seen alighting from his favorite Mercedes G Wagon to waive to the crowd which went wild at the unusual sighting of the Commander in Chief. 

Judging by the surroundings of the video, the head of state made a stop at about the Haille Selassie Highway in the Central Business District (CBD) , near the Times Tower with the old Kenya Raiways Authority (KRA) buildings in sight.

The jovial president made a short address before taking the driver's seat where he continued waving at the crowd.

He was escorted by his security team as two formally-dressed General Service Unit (GSU) officers are seen keeping the crowds at bay from getting too close to the president.

Nearby, a matatu is seen trying to make its regular trip past the ensuing crowd.

Has has, over the recent months, increasingly put his driving skills to test as at times, he drives himself, in the G-Wagon, to events and at times taking high profile passengers like former Prime Minister Raila Odinga during a night roam in Nairobi CBD that was captured on camera. 

On Sunday, March 8, Uhuru drove himself to the Nyayo Stadium for the Beyond Zero Half-Marathon, an initiative led by First lady Margaret Kenyatta.

The President arrived in his Mercedez Benz G-Wagon, with the SUV positioned at the front of his convoy as his security team ran beside the vehicles.

He exited the vehicle greeting and shaking hands with several Kenyans who took part in the half-marathon.

On Tuesday, June 2, CCTV footage shared on social media showed Kenyatta allegedly alighting from a blue car which many appeared to think was ether a Toyota Probox or Sienta.

The president, who was wearing a white shirt and a mask, alighted from the driver's seat while ODM Leader, Rila Odina, alighted the front passenger's seat wearing a green half jacket and a mask too.
