President Uhuru Kenyatta speaks for the first time on Sonko’s allegations that he was ‘the acting president’, see what he said

Over the weekend, Uhuru Kenyatta was not in the country after he had gone Togo to attend a conference. Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko took his time to thump his chest saying that he was the ‘acting’ president of Kenya since William Ruto had also traveled out of the country.

Sonko was attending the funeral of former MP Wavinya’s husband. Uhuru termed Sonko’s “acting President” remark as a non-issue that should not be given much prominence by media.

Uhuru said regardless where he is, he remains the elected President of the Republic of Kenya – so long as he is still in office.

“Don’t bother about what people say at funerals, weddings and all these other issues. I have only on one occasion left the office of Presidency. Whether I am in Togo, I am still President of the Republic of Kenya. Only once when some people took me to some funny court out there and I signed a piece of paper, leaving my deputy to act as President; any other occasion, wacha media waseme vile wanataka kusema .(Let the media say what they want)."
