For a number of days this year, President Uhuru Kenyatta spent quite some time at the coast. He has issued Lamu County and the Waitiki farm title deeds, launched the Port Reitz/Moi International Airport access road, and launched the English Point Marina Hotel among other development projects aimed at benefiting Kenyans.
Despite this, there are some disgruntled Kenyans who claim that the long stay and launch of numerous projects at the coast is part of a charm offensive to woo residents to the Jubilee party.
