President Uhuru Kenyatta has worked hard to bring about the action and change he promised in 2013. Governance in Kenya has become an organised and serious business. Uhuru is showing that with good leadership, a country can surmount any problem. The security crisis that Uhuru’s administration was met with upon ascending to power has been strategically dealt with and now, threats have greatly receded under his watch.

In his inauguration address in April 2013, Uhuru said economic diplomacy will be the defining feature of Kenya’s engagement with the rest of the world. Kenya’s enviable status as a trade, investment, transport and logistics hub in the region has been enhanced thanks to economic diplomacy. His administration has refashioned its foreign policy to enhance the country’s military, economic, diplomatic and cultural influence.
