The Kenyatta family, including former President Uhuru Kenyatta, is planning to travel to London for a meeting to discuss various issues.
They are considering relocating some of their businesses due to an unfavorable political situation and scaling down operations in what they perceive as a toxic environment.
Although Uhuru mentioned the trip as a vacation, other sources suggest that the meeting holds significance for important economic decisions. The family’s businesses span key sectors such as banking, hotels, tourism, insurance, and agriculture.
The family members will gather to discuss the current political and business climate in their home country and determine their future plans. This meeting, scheduled for August 11, has caused tension between the Kenyattas and the government, as revealed by an official communication between the Foreign Affairs ministry and the British High Commission in Nairobi.
The leaked list of 16 names of family members traveling has sparked online anger and questions about the motive behind the leakage.Additionally, there have been protests regarding the government’s attempts to cancel firearms licenses of Uhuru’s sons, with accusations of planned set-ups involving guns and drugs.
Uhuru denies claims of his sons possessing more than the allowed number of firearms and expresses concerns about the propaganda surrounding the issue.
