Once one wins the presidency, suffice to say, that he ceases to be an ordinary being for life.
That is the case of President Uhuru Kenyatta who is heading back home after serving a maximum of two terms.
While serving as president, Uhuru has been enjoying lots of benefits that are legally accorded to his office to enable him serve Kenyans well.
While some of the benefits will be withdrawn, the President will still enjoy a number of perks that he is entitled to according to the law.
