President Uhuru has written to His Holiness Pope Francis, expressing great delight over his Pastoral Visit to Kenya in November 2015.
State House Spokesperson Mr Manoah Esipisu says the fact that His Holiness chose Kenya as his first stop, during his maiden visit to Africa is significant. “This pastoral visit is important to Kenya, as it will promote national healing, dialogue and peaceful co-existence,” Mr Esipisu said. “More so in the face of extremism and radical criminality.”
Meanwhile, Mr Esipisu said President Obama’s visit to Kenya this July is not only a homecoming, but also an indication that Kenya matters in global politics. “Our stature in regional diplomacy, economy and technological innovation cannot be ignored,” he said in a statement released today.

The visit by President Obama is to officially preside over the 6th Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES), which is another big win for Kenya. This Summit offers the country opportunities to exchange high-level views and ideas between global business leaders and entrepreneurs and strengthen its bilateral relations to promote foreign investment and entrepreneurial innovations in the country, and the much-needed global support in the war against terror.
“The privilege of hosting this summit endorses our professed positive economic outlook. We are eager to use this forum to deepen our regional integration and improve our global competitiveness in addition to fortification of our ties with the US, and with Africa,” he said.
