In his congratulatory message to Mr. Joe Biden on November 8th, Mr. Kenyatta termed Biden’s win as a demonstration of Americans’ confidence in his leadership credentials.
“Americans have spoken loudly and clearly through their votes by picking a highly experienced, colourfully decorated and long-serving leader to become their next Head of State.
“On behalf of the people and the Government of Kenya, I congratulate president-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris for their emphatic win and wish them all the best as they prepare to lead the United States of America into a future of prosperity,” The Kenyan President said.
