Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>President Uhuru Kenyatta has been gifted a rare classic car model by the United Kingdom Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.<\/p>\n

The president received the gift during his 3-day travel to the UK where he struck several deals with the UK government, including the acquisition of Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n

The original car participated in the 1962 East African Safari Rally. It was driven by Wisdom-Riley Ann and her co-driver Moss-Carlsson Pat from Great Britain, who finished third in the rally that was dominated by Kenyans.<\/p>\n

The bromance between Uhuru and Boris was displayed in their interaction at the backyard of the Chequers, the Prime Minister’s official country residence in Buckinghamshire.<\/p>\n

The president has in the recent past received several gifts from heads of states – with the most memorable being one from Tanzania’s President John Magufuli in 2019.<\/p>\n

The late Magufuli gifted President Kenyatta peacocks which were delivered through Tanzania’s High Commissioner to Kenya, Pindi Hazara Chana.<\/p>\n

Uhuru at the time expressed his deep gratitude and appreciation to President Mugufuli, saying the peacocks signified the values of love, unity, and brotherhood, between Magufuli and himself.<\/p>\n

The Kenyan president is himself known to be a generous giver, in the spirit of maintaining good rapport and friendships with other state heads.<\/p>\n

Uhuru gifted Burundian President Evariste Ndayishimiye 50 cows in May this year, during Evariste’s state visit ahead of the Madaraka Day celebrations on June 1.<\/p>\n

President Kenyatta’s visit to the UK in the last week is viewed to have been very successful, having secured several deals with the British government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
