The three flowers girls who received President Uhuru Kenyatta when he arrived in Somalia on Tuesday for the 28th IGAD summit for head of states, have charmed netizens who can’t get enough of their beauty.

The three girls were an embodiment of prettiness with their hair done into braids and wearing uniform orange traditional shirts and white skirts, with beaded necklace. They were also beautified with Piko flower paintings on their hands.

It is a common practice the world over for VIPs to be received at the airport with traditional dancers and flower bearers – often young girls – who present the bouquet to the guest.

Netizens spent the better part of Wednesday on President Kenyatta’s Facebook page showering the three girls with praises.
