President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday, August 31 took time to walk on the streets of Mombasa.
In a video circulating online, Uhuru, who was accompanied by Mombasa Governor-elect Abdulswamad Nassir and a host of Azimio la Umoja leaders was seen walking and greeting members of the public.
A visibly happy Uhuru mingled freely with members of the public with his aide-de-camp behind him without a military uniform as has been the norm.
This is the first time the President is being seen in public since the August 9 general election.
