Kenyans had this to say online.

Everlyn Njeruh wrote; “Awwww what an humble president…One of the many reasons God wants you to lead this country.”

Jose Dot Mali Ya Mungu retorted; “This is not news!! Last month,Indonesian President Widodo walked to an event after being stuck in major traffic jam. He walked several km in scorching heat after his motorcade got stuck in traffic jam. I’m not surprised coz the distance between Harambee House and Treasury is less than 500m.”

Rose Nyahutha wrote; “Well done Mr. President for continually debunking the Presidency. Leaders should walk an mingle with electorate. However, on your last term pliz completely term corruption coz at the end of the day, everyone says your govt is corrupt even when a junior clerk embezzles funds or asks for hongo.”
