President Uhuru Reveals Why Kidero Planted Grass Ahead Of Obama Visit

Nairobi County Governor Dr. Evans Kidero was put on the spotlight after he embarked on a beautification project of the capital ahead of the much anticipated Obama visit that later on brought the city and indeed the entire country to a standstill.

Kidero was particularly on the receiving end of massive trolling from a section of Kenyans on social media for planting grass on Uhuru Highway just 72 hours to the Obama visit, with clear warnings that no one should go near the grass.

Everyone wondered why the Governor was literally putting pressure on the grass to grow, with funny memes doing round social media mocking the head of the city.

It did not stop even after Obama had left as it turned out that he never saw the developments done on the roads. He arrived at night and left for JKIA in a chopper. Very sorry indeed.

Then there was a video footage showing workers uprooting flowers on the roads, with many arguing that Kidero had hired the flowers to impress Obama.

These and many other are the reasons why President Uhuru has come out to defend Kidero and reveal the reason why all the beautification of the city.

Speaking at Starehe Boys’ Centre over the weekend, President Uhuru, in the presence of Kidero and retired President Mwai Kibaki, revealed that Kidero had indeed planted the grass in readiness for Pope Francis’ visit later this year.

President Uhuru joked that Kidero should be left alone because he foresees the future and he is preparing the city for the leader of the Roman Catholic leader’s visit.
