The handshake
The Head of State said his handshake with Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga had calmed the country and ensured that people live together in unity.
Unlike his earlier tour of Westlands Constituency last week, where an angry president asked his Deputy President William Ruto to quit government, a reconciliatory tone underpinned his speeches in Soweto, Kayole, and Dandora yesterday.
The new Soweto and Ushirika Level 2 hospitals are part of 24 similar facilities being developed by NMS across the Nairobi metropolis.
Last week, President Kenyatta

President Uhuru – Govt Committed To Creating Conducive Environment For Businesses
President Uhuru Kenyatta has said the Government is committed to creating a conducive environment for small-scale traders to prosper.
The President said his desire is to see micro, small and medium enterprises growing and creating employment for the many unemployed Kenyan youths.
The Head of State spoke Wednesday at the National Cargo Deconsolidation Centre (NCDC-Nairobi) where he made a follow-up inspection of the Government warehouse which was recently expanded from a capacity of five 40-foot containers to fifteen such containers, serving approximately 400 small scale traders a day.
The President noted the expansion of the warehouse was as a result of the discussions he had with the small-scale importers saying, a country can only be developed when citizens learn to discuss issues and come up with solutions for the benefit of all.
