So what is the role of Uhuru Kenyatta? Opposition leader inviting the President to launch a government project? Incompetence!”

These are some of the reactions after reports emerged that Raila Odinga is set to host President Uhuru Kenyatta together with other three Presidents from East Africa in Kisumu during the opening ceremony of Kisumu Port also dubbed as ‘Raila’s Handshake Project

While many Kenyans have thanked the two leaders and expressed their joy for the re-opening of the project, others believe Raila has taken credit for a project which was renovated using Kenya’s taxpayer money.

Seen by many as part of the handshake goodies, the facelift is expected to restore the glory of the once vibrant East Africa hub, an area previously perceived as deliberately marginalized by the state.

Many argued that all Kenyan were entitled to benefit from equal projects without necessarily begging from the government. With varied opinions, heated verbal exchange ensued online shortly after the report went viral. Here are some of the reactions;

Benard Jason Hii gazeti ni kufungia nyama tu, the project’s are being done by kenya tax payer money, all Kenyan are entitled to benefit from it, since when did Raila or handshake owned the development project.
