[Photo| Uhuru Kenyatta]President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday during his inauguration celebrated Kenya's children. During his speech, Uhuru said that the greatest joy of his presidency has been interacting with the children. He added that they have and remain his greatest strength and inspiration, noting they are a clean slate, on which we can write the future."In them, I see the promise of a nation on the rise; in them, I see the promise of a united nation, whose identity is not defined by ethnic markings. We shall overcome our ethnic barriers. And we shall do so by learning from our children," said Uhuru. "I see this promise in Goldalyn Kakuya, who is here today. She overcame her special needs to emerge top of the nation in her KCPE exams. And all of us together celebrated and loved her for her achievement. If Goldalyn overcame, so too will Kenya," the president added. Kakuya was the best candidate in the 2017 KCPE exam after scoring 455 marks out of 500.
