  • The President was speaking during the operationalization of the first berth at the new Lamu Port when someone attempted moving towards him.

President Uhuru Kenyatta's security detail moved swiftly to protect the head of state after someone startled him.

On Thursday the head of state was in Lamu for the official opening of the port in the coastal town and when giving his speech someone moved too close to him which is a breach of security.

The President was a bit started but his security got ahold of the culprit and President Kenyatta continued with his speech.

"Pole sana kila mtu an mambo yake," the President said as he continued with his speech.

The President was speaking during the operationalization of the first berth at the new Lamu Port.
