In a scene torn from the pages of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s 2013 swearing in, the November 28, 2017 swearing in will feature a bible used by Jomo Kenyatta in the post-colonial period.
However, unlike in 2013 when President Uhuru used the bible his father held when he took the oath as Kenya's first Prime Minister in 1963, he will this turn hold the bible his father used during his swearing in as Kenya’s first President in 1964.
