Kenya’s President to grace 59th independence celebration
Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenya will be the special guest of President John Dramani Mahama during this year’s 6th March anniversary celebrations.
The Kenyan President has been invited by his Ghanaian counterpart to join in the nation’s celebration of the 59th anniversary of its independence.
This came to light when President John Mahama presented letters of credence to the immediate past director of state Protocol Ambassador Kwame Tenkorang who now resumes duties as Ghana’s ambassador to Kenya.
