French President Emmanuel Macron Set to Visit Kenya

State House has announced that French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Kenya in mid-March.

In a statement, State House says Macron will hold bilateral talks with President Kenyatta during the two-day visit.

The discussions between the two leaders will focus on cementing the existing ties between the two countries.

"Traditionally, Kenya and France enjoy strong bilateral ties and I am pleased that we've continued to deepen the relations. I look forward to the visit by President Macron," the statement from State House reads.

State House also says Kenyatta and Macron will discuss the proposed Rapid Transit Train Service running from the Nairobi central business district to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).

 "The proposed rapid transit train service between Nairobi Central Business District and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is among projects expected to feature prominently when President Kenyatta hosts the French leader in Nairobi."

French Ambassador to Kenya Aline Kuster-Menager has also confirmed that President Macron will visit the country for two days but the dates are yet to be confirmed.

This will be his first visit to Kenya and East Africa since he was elected in 2017.

Macron is coming to seal the deal which will plunge us into further debt. No need to close the CBD for him because we lose big time.. Uhuru please meet this salesman at the airport so he can board the plane back home or to the next sales pitch.

The whole world knows the boy in statehouse has no plan for Kemya other than plunging it into more debt. No ideas and no plan. Just a gullible leader. Other kenyans bring monet back to kenya while he is busy finding ways to send that money back to where it came from. Born with a silver spoon in his mouth and nothing else.

To everyone calling for integrating of Daadab refugees to Garissa county:

Garissa county is KANU.

Gideon Moi, KANU and Duale will not accept to integrate the Daadab refugees.

Gideon Moi is always in America begging for money for starving Baringo residents and for starving Daadab residents.
Therefore, it is not in his best interest to end starvation in Baringo and Daadab.

The KANU Jogoo must be slaughtered once and for all so that residents of Baringo county can be food secure and Daadab refugees can be integrated into Garissa county.

Just my two cents.
