Kenyans Online React as President Uhuru Campaigns in the Rain
Kenyans on social media have expressed mixed reactions after President Uhuru Kenyatta was pictured campaigning in the rain in
Nyandarua County on Sunday.
The President and his Jubilee brigade were met by heavy downpour while on a campaign tour to Nyahururu town, but the President was undeterred by the rains.
He proceeded to coming out of his vehicle to wave to the residents who stood on the roadside to cheer him.
The photo was widely shared by online users, and, when some lauded the head of state for being 'humble' others dismissed it as a mere PR gimmick.
Bob Erastus said: " He is Pretending that he cares."
Ndegwa Samueli notes: "We Kenyans know this and for sure Uhuru is far much better than Raila Odinga.he is humble and has a true heart for kenya.ata Kama nitakuwa Bondo on 26th Oct come rain come sunshine I shall vote for you my president."
Karani Jane:" He is a committed leader who wants nothing else but peace an development in our country."
Cira Wa Kiore said:"He was rained on? what !Thats a chosen one! So God anointed him that everyone could see?.Even THE BLIND MISE OF NASA!,".
Peter Makori Pema notes: "Desperation."
Renson Mbae says: " Not even rain can stop him from saying hi to the people bcoz he just values them n for sure we need leaders who recognizes that common mwananchi at the grass root. The message here is that the president is saying he is not any different or special,".
Josiah Matinde said: "Mara nyuki mara mvua mara paa imeanguka Uhuru is going no where with dictatorship."
Ben Man notes: "Sign of desperation."
Evelyne Atieno: " That's desperation.if he won fairly he should relax and wait for the next election."
Gasper Namusende said: "Atanyeshewa hadi gatundu, hakuna huruma, #noreformsnoelection."
Gakuta James said: "Awesome. What is more interesting to me in the photo is that huge crowd of thousands in the background that also withstood the rain. See even the old mama on the top right that is waving the Jubilee flag without a care about the rain. Clearly we have the numbers."

If you want something, you pursue it. Uhuru wants to make life better for Kenyans for another 5 years; so, neither Raila, the Supreme Court nor rain can deter him. We say, Rain or shine, itafanyika.

He should start making lives better by getting all the money stolen from NYS and health ministry and all the wasted money that went to SGR which is not living up the promised glory. Kenyans we are easily baited, the guy talks a good game but he presided over the most corrupt regime in history, if he really cares he should have these thugs prosecuted. Magufuli on the other hand is the kind of a leader that we need or even Kagame. Ujinga, kwani kunyeshewa ni nini?

So when did you do the NPVI ,payback or IRR of SGR so as to know that it has not lived to its promised glory. Stick to a subject matter than you know and leave the financial analysts do their job . Bure Kabisa, criticizing for the sake of it and if Mafuguli is all that and some, apply for citizenship there, tired of people who can't see anything good

Not that I know more than Ufisadi but fact is that he's raising some really weighty issue here. I personally have beef with the Jubilee administration for not having fought corruption, the real cancer that has kept the country from going forward in spite of having one of the best human resource pools on the continent and indeed, the world. From the unaccounted for Eurobond, Afya clinic container installations debacle, the extremely expensive SGR (compare it with the Ethiopian & upcoming TZ ones), and a host of others, UhuRuto have disappointed many. I completely understand & appreciate ur "half full glass" attitude & you may rightly call mine a "half empty" attitude but fact is that the glass is NOT full coz of institutionalized sleaze in government. Why should Kenya of the 21st century be talking about hunger & famine & poor access to health facilities & education for it's millions of poor citizens? Why? Kenya's a rich country but alas, it's not rich enough for all the unbridled greed at all levels! I don't support NASA either coz it's an outfit representing the other side of this messed up coin - they are just looking for an opportunity to "eat" and further destroy country. We all need a very serious RE-THINK of exactly who we are and more importantly, what we REALLY want for our country. At this point in history, CORRUPTION and TRIBALISM are the biggest threats to the nationhood of Kenya. Get rid of these and we'll soon be catching up with the South Koreas, the Malaysias, the Singapores, the Chinas of this world ....we started out together but somewhere along the way, the rain started beating us real hard. Ombea nchi.
