Since Uhuru Kenyatta became president in March 2013, he has completely demystified the institution of being the head of state. He is now the cool guy that everyone wants to hang out with. There are several inspiring moments Kenyans from all walks of life have shared with the Jubilee leader, the youngest president ever since independence.

Before Uhuru, there were presidents Mwai Kibaki, Daniel rap Moi, and founding Kenyan father Jomo Kenyatta. All these leaders were pretty rigid in their interactions with the ‘common man’, and had a fear factor in them — making those around very afraid when coming face-to-face with the authority. Here are some images that remind how President Kenyatta had made the office everyone can relate with:
