President Uhuru Kenyatta has stated that he is not going anywhere but only handing over the instruments of power.
In a wide-ranging interview with Kikuyu vernacular stations on Sunday, August 7, Kenyatta stated that he would be around and at the center of matters related to the country.
"I am not going anywhere. It is this seat that I am leaving for another person. My word to you is, do not accept to be divided. If we were to all agree in one voice and remain united, we shall go far,” he said.
“I am not going anywhere. I’m still Kenyan. I am only changing my address. We shall continue being together as you know the elders may wake up tomorrow and send me to do or solve something," the president said.

The Head of State also warned that anyone who would attempt to bring chaos because of results would be dealt with firmly.
“I vowed to protect Kenyan lives and property and anyone attempting to bring chaos will not be allowed the opportunity as they will be dealt with according to the law," He said.
Speaking on his tenure, President Kenyatta mentioned that he was proud of what he had achieved.
He pointed out that the only regret he had was the collapse of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) which was meant to benefit populous regions.
"One thing I regret that didn't succeed during my tenure is BBI, I'll work closely with the incoming administration to actualize the BBI dream. Resources should be divided based on the population not the size of the land," He said.
