When President Uhuru Kenyatta arrived at the at Kenyatta International Convention Centre to open 9th Stop Cervical, Breast and Prostate Cancer in Africa Conference (SCCA), he met his wife, Margaret, who happened to be the host of the conference. But what caught everyone’s eye was how intimate he greeted the First Lady and whispered a few words to her, fuelling humourous speculations that perhaps he had not seen his better half for some time.
At the conference that was attended by 4,000 delegates and 12 First Ladies, President Kenyatta was decorated as the 2015-2016 African goodwill ambassador for women and children’s health by the Forum of African First Ladies/Spouses against Cervical, Breast and Prostate Cancer. Mr Kenyatta said the Government, through public private partnerships, is putting up four specialised cancer treatment centres across the country to increase access to quality care.
