President Uhuru Kenyatta Wednesday made impromptu tours of housing and infrastructure projects in Nairobi, Kenyan capital.

Kenyatta who was accompanied by the country’s Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia and his Treasury counterpart Henry Rotich encouraged the contractor to ensure everything is done according to standard.

“This project will used as an example for all the other projects which we will do in other towns like Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret,” said the President.
