By now you've heard and even seen pictures of President Uhuru buying a soda at a Machakos kiosk.

It was after launching the last mile connectivity programme, which aims to increase electricity connections to 75% in two years, up from the current 35%.

The president had just given his speech, which stirred up the country's political environment.

The kiosk visit was not random. Too risky for the PResident... see what I did there.

Some guys were already waiting for him, and had obviously become impatient and started the party without him.

The mama duka and her assistant were dressed for the moment, and had the mic ready.

We've heard tales of Uhuru's love for the bottle, but yesterday was a work day, so he went soft. Apparently, he likes his Fanta small, ice cold and pineapple.

Of course he paid with a 1000 bob. You can bet he did not ask for change.

But something else happened. Something few noticed.


Instead of having the first drink, he handed it to Governor Mutua. What a gentleman.

Everything else may have been scripted, but this part most definitely came out naturally. I think they call it servant leadership.

Not many of us do this even with our friends leave alone juniors.

And they drank their Fanta happily thereafter.

And Kenyans on Twitter are still having their fun.
