NAIROBI, KENYA: President Uhuru Kenyatta wants to rent office space in Nairobi's Upper Hill despite having an office at Harambee House in the central business district.
State House Comptroller Kinuthia Mbugua on Tuesday put out an advertisement for 6,000 to 8,000 square feet office space along three roads in Upper Hill.
“The office should be within a radius of not more than 2.5 kilometres from the Nairobi Central Business District and preferably along 4th Ngong Avenue, 5th Ngong Avenue and Ralph Bunche Road,” Mr Mbugua wrote.
In his first term, the President worked exclusively from State House, only occasionally going to Harambee House.
But last November, Uhuru showed up for work in the CBD, where he met the new county officials as well as officials of different ministries.
