This is hoursย after State House spokespersonย Kanze Denaย assured duringย an interview withย Radio Maishaย that the president was in his office working.
“The President is around, it doesn’t mean that because he is not seen in public he is not there, he has an office where he goes every day and he is working on several things,” Kanze stated.
