Kenyans always faced with various problems in their day to day lives. While most of the problems can easily be solved, some may require you to have a chat with the boss of the country president Uhuru Kenyatta. Just the other day, a Kenyan youth requested to meet the president via phone call much to the awe of many other Kenyans with others envying her opportunity and courage. But the question is how does a normal Kenyan get to meet the President of the republic of Kenya?
The former senior Director of Innovation and Digital Communications at the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit, Dennis Itumbi, revealed that in one of his question and answer sessions when he was still in office. Through his Facebook account, one of his fans asked on how he could meet and shake hands with the president. Itumbi recommended that for one needs to make a formal request with the head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua. Joseph also served as the President’s chief of staff.
