This Is How You Can See Obama When He Lands In Kenya This Week

The most powerful man on earth will lead the world to Kenya come Friday this week. This, for Kenya and its people, is historic. And it will go down the memory lane as the first time a US sitting president set foot in Kenya.

In preparation for the maiden visit, Kenya and especially Nairobi is receiving a major facelift, with the city looking cleaner than ever before.

The Global Entrepreneurship Summit is the reason why the world is heading this way. But apart from this, Obama and other dignitaries are expected to interact with Kenyans in one way or the other. And focus is entirely on the US President who has his roots in Kenya.

His grandmother is down in Kogello.

Many have been wondering if at all they will get any chance to see Obama physically. Well, your doubt should just end here. At least for now.

This is after State House revealed that Obama will be speaking to Kenyans from the Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, alongside President Uhuru Kenyatta. So Thika Road will be literally impassable on Sunday! Oh Lord! I thought we, the highway dwellers, are spared of the snarl ups and closed roads!

Before you start preparing how to arrive at the stadium early enough on Sunday to grab the front seat, hold on.

It is, however, not confirmed if Obama will be speaking in closed doors and if it will be an invite only thing at the Safaricom Indoor Arena or if the whole stadium will be opened for Kenyans to see the US President.

Police estimate that if the latter is the case, close to 300,000 Kenyans are expected to throng the stadium anxiously to see the US President.
