NAIROBI; KENYA: President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta has defended his decision to have his wife hold the Bible for him during next week’s swearing-in ceremony.
It was expected that Uhuru would hold the Bible himself, or if not so, that an official of the Supreme Court would hold it for him as it has been the case with the swearing-in of his predecessors. Some people had criticised him on social media for the decision, forcing him to post a statement on his official Facebook page on Thursday evening explaining his decision.
