Kenyatta was set to officially open the trade exhibition on Friday but it has since been confirmed that he will not attend the event.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of a press briefing on Monday, 24 April, ZITF chairman Busisa Moyo said set protocol does not allow for a replacement of a guest of honour. Moyo said:<\/p>\n

Kenya is in mourning following the death of former President Kibaki and as such President Kenyatta is no longer coming.<\/p>\n

The set protocol does not allow for a replacement of a guest of honour. Therefore, President Emmerson Mnangagwa is officiating.<\/p>\n

Kenyatta cancelled his planned visit to Zimbabwe following the death of the East African country\u2019s former president Mwai Kibaki last week.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) will be held from April 26 to 30 under the theme: \u201cRethink, Reimagine, Reinvent Value Chains for Economic Development\u201d.<\/p>\n
