Siaya Senator James Orengo made President Uhuru Kenyatta laugh his heart out during the launch of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) at the Mamboleo Show Ground in Kisumu, on Thursday.

Addressing guests and members of the public who attended the event, Orengo said that in Kisumu and Nyanza at large, the president’s name is not Uhuru.

“Your Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, the people in this area had already domesticated your name. When you go round Nyanza, they don’t call you Uhuru, they call you Ouru. So you are part of this community and feel at home,” Orengo said amid laughter from the President.

Known for his eloquence and political sound bites, the Senator asked the President to stay longer the next time he visits Nyanza region so that he can eat tilapia and ‘be given many things that are in this region’.

The Head of State, his deputy William Ruto, and ODM Party leader Raila Odinga on Thursday toured Kisumu together for the first time since the March 09, 2018 handshake.

They received a warm welcome especially in Kondele as their motorcade passed on their way to Mambeleo Show Ground from Ahero.

Today, Kenyatta and Odinga will be in Bondo, Siaya County where they will be honored with honorary degrees at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology.
