Uhuru Makes Impromptu Visit to Kisumu

Normal business in Kisumu came to a standstill on Wednesday, January 12, after President Uhuru Kenyatta made a surprise visit to the lakeside city.

Multiple media reports indicated that the president landed at the Kisumu port at around 2:45 pm aboard his military chopper.

While it was not immediately clear who had accompanied him, police officers who were keeping guard at the port restricted movement in and out of the facility.

A report by Citizen Digital indicated that after arriving, Uhuru headed to the Kenya shipyards section, which is within the port, to inspect the construction of the MV Uhuru II ship which is being built by the Kenya Navy in collaboration with a Dutch company.

He then flew to Mbita, Homabay County to inspect the course way and the ongoing dredging of Lake Victoria.

The Kisumu Port, which is billed as a game-changer in regional logistics, has been undergoing an upgrade since 2016.
