NAIROBI, Kenya Dec 24 – Former President Uhuru Kenyatta spent time with children at various children homes where he shared Christmas goodies.

Photos shared on social media shows the cheerful Kenyatta playing with babies as he distributed Christmas gifts.

He distributed goodies at Mama Fatuma Goodwill Children’s Home in Gatundu and Children’s Garden home and School in Uthiru just outside the capital Nairobi.

Kenyatta has kept a relatively low profile since leaving office in August, and mainly focuses on peace initiatives in the DRC and Ethiopia as the regional peace envoy.

Kenyatta left office in August 2022, after serving as president for two terms.

He handed over to his deputy William Ruto who won the election, defeating Kenyatta’s preferred successor Raila Odinga who suffered a humiliating defeat which he unsuccessfully challenged at the Supreme Court.
