"President @UKenyatta has officially Commissioned the construction of the Ahero Interchange in Kisumu. The President stated that his Administration will continue to partner with all leaders to implement development projects for the benefit of all Kenyans.
"President @UKenyatta also affirmed that the unity pact between him and @RailaOdinga is for the long haul, and with it, Kenya will achieve more positive milestones. The President said politics should not always be about competition but changing the lives of Kenyans," State House Kenya tweeted.
