First Lady of the United States, Dr Jill Biden, has jetted into the country aboard Executive One Foxtrot, a military plane.
Dr Biden’s plane touched down at 4:28 pm at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to an expectedly tight security and rousing welcome by government officials alongside traditional dancers.
The Professor of English was received by First Lady Rachel Ruto ahead of an event-packed first visit to the country as Flotus.
During her visit to Nairobi, the U.S. First Lady is expected to focus more on strengthening ties between the two nations, especially championing women’s economic empowerment projects such as table banking.
Dr. Biden’s visit is her sixth to the continent, the third to Kenya albeit her first as the First Lady Of the United States (FLOTUS).
