The Kenya’s President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta arrived in London in the early hours of the morning around 6:00 hours local time. His
early arrival time seems to have been a deliberate effort by his hosts
the UK government to shield him from the hungry media to broadcast his
UK arrival and the potential backlash from human rights organizations
like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Upon
arrival, President Kenyatta was received by the MI5 [The UK’s Special
Branch], officials from the UK government and staff from the Kenya High
Commission in London led by Ambassador Ephraim Ngare.
They
were then whisked away through Cargo Planes sections of Heathrow
Airport Terminal 4 and together with his entourage were driven to secret
locations in London.
Up
to the time of writing this article at 14:30hrs local time, no media
house is aware of the whereabouts of Uhuru’s entourage and there is a
total media blackout about the President presence here.
Kenyans
waiting to see their President on mainstream media like BBC, SKY, CNN
etc may wait indefinitely but will be sure to see him through PPS among
the Central Communities migrant in the UK organized by some local
pastors.
To
save face of Cameron’s administration from a storm that would appear to
be granting a head of state with similar status as Sudan’s Al Bashir an
official visit, Her Majesty’s government with it’s elite security
agencies are managing the visit to be as incognito as it could be.
The
Conference the President is attending will deliberate on strengthening
security, policing and justice system as well as public finance
management in Somalia as part of the wider strategy of stabilizing the
country and ensuring security in the Horn of Africa region.
The
President is accompanied by First Lady Margaret Kenyatta and Attorney
General Githu Muigai among other senior Government officials.
The
AG is expected to be handy for the president in assisting to vigorously
defend his status of being ‘innocent until proven guilty’.
