A US-based Kenyan born doctor says the US president’s visit is a sign of confidence that United States has in Kenya. The Makerere University trained John Matseshe, who is a gastro-enterologist based in Illinois, US advised Kenyans to share their challenges including corruption with President Obama, saying it is an honour to host a sitting US president.
“President Obama’s visit is important to Kenya on several levels. It is the first time a sitting US President is visiting the country,” says Dr Matseshe, who first went to the US more than 46 years ago.
