Trump to Host President Kenyatta at the White House from 1:45pm Eastern Time
President Uhuru Kenyatta is on Monday expected to hold talks with his United States counterpart Donald Trump at the White House in Washington, DC.
Kenyatta arrived in the US in company of First Lady Margaret on Saturday afternoon ahead of the much anticipated meeting with Trump.
An itinerary published on Fact Base on President Trump's Public Schedule shows Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret will arrive at the White House on Monday 8:45 pm East African Time (1:45 pm Eastern US time).
The two will be received at the South Portico by President Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump.
The four will then proceed to a bilateral meeting at 8:55 pm (EAT) at the Oval Office, the working office space of POTUS located in the West Wing of the White House.
This will be followed by an expanded bilateral meeting between Kenyatta and Trump at the Cabinet Room at 9:15 pm Kenyan time. The First Ladies will go to a separate session.
Later Kenya's delegation led Cabinet Secretaries Monica Juma (Foreign Affairs), Henry Rotich (Treasury), and James Macharia (Transport) will join the talks.
Others include Trade Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo, Majority Leaders Aden Duale (National Assembly), Kipchumba Murkomen (Senate), State House Chief of Staff Nzioka Waita and Kenya's envoy to US Njeru Githae.
Top on the agenda of the discussions will be trade and investment and regional security.
The itinerary also indicates there will be press coverage and brief photo sessions at the White House during the arrival and the Oval House meeting.
On the sidelines of the visit, President Kenyatta is also expected to meet business leaders in the US to market Kenya as an investment hub.

beg beg and beg to benefit the elites, the NYS culprits will not see court till 2019, justice delayed is justice denied. Ethiopia on the other hand is almost doubling her GDP growth. Kenya is in some deep s**t but we are all blind to it or complacent. After uhuru it is either going to be Gideon or Ruto, two of the most corrupt individuals in the history of the world. The common man has been given a cell phone and is now happy, while being fed poisonous rice and sugar. Most kenyans parents are taking kids to private schools while paying taxes to fund public schools. The elites are living more lavishly that bill gates or even trump while the rest eat and sleep in garbage. Wake up and fight

Nakuomba tafadhali Ndugu Uhuru, usiombe hata senti moja utakapokutana na kiongozi wa nchi ya Marekani. Inatubidi sisi sote kama Wakenya tutumie kipawa tulichopewa na MWUMBAJI - yaani AKILI ili tupambane na umaskini wetu.
Ni wazi ya kwamba nchi zinazoendelea kiuchumi kama nchi ya Uchina ilifanya kazi kwa bidii sana huku ikitumia akili yake ili ipate heshima duniani nzima. Miaka michache (40) iliyopita, Wachina walipanda baiskeli kama njia yao ya kusafiria. Kwa nini sisi tunapoteza pesa za umma kwa kuishi maisha ya kukopa?

Teknolojia ipo sasa ambayo inaweza kutumiwa kuwasiliana na mtu aliye mbali nawe huku ukimwona kana kwamba nyote mmo chumbani kimoja inaitwa "teleconferencing." Teknolojia hii inaweza kupunguza utumiaji wa ndege na gharama zote ambazo zaweza kupunguzwa iwapo teknolojia hii itatumiwa.
Kwa nini wanaomshauri Ndugu Uhuru hawamwambii juu ya kupunguza matumizi ya hela za nchi iwapo anaweza kutumia uwezo wa teknolojia hii?
Tuna madeni mengiyanayotokana na ukopaji wa pesa ambazo hatuwezi kulipa. Ningependa kuona hela/pesa za umma zikitumiwa kwa njia inayofaa. Kwanza, wanabunge wapunguziwe mishahara yao.
Siku chache zilizopita, wanabunge walitaka wapewe watu wa kuwakanda (massage) wakiwa kazini. Jana, mwanabunge mwingine aliomba asafiri huku akitumia ngazi ya kwanza (first class) kwenye ndege kwa sababu hawezi kukaa kwenye viti vya kawaida kwa sababu ya unene wake!
Mfaransa mmoja (Rene Duport) aliandika kitabu miaka mingi iliyopita kinachoitwa, " False Start in Africa." Ni kitabu kinachoonyesha matatizo tuliyonayo sasa ambayo yasingekuwapo kama tungetumia akili yetu vizuri baada ya kupata uhuru.
