While we might be voting for the next president of this great republic, Kenyans still took time to lightly remember the outgoing president Uhuru Kenyatta.

While the response was divided with Mr. Uhuru drawing a lot of harsh criticism for his handling of the economy and dealing with corruption, there were still some Kenyans who had some positive things to say about him.

Most of the comments praising Uhuru centred around his infrastructure record and how he had been an inspirational family man.

Check out some of those comments below;

Benjamin Kosgey Millions of us from Rift Valley and Central voted for him but he abandoned us and tortured us beyond imagination!!He's the most ungrateful and petty president Kenya has ever had!!

LOGAN Very jovial president. Always happy with what he does. Ready to mingle with Kenyans despite heavy security around Him. Cheerful man. Big heart. Lover of sports. God bless him as he retires.

frank kirimi One good thing about uhuru is that he has a heart of love ...I don't know when you are forced to love both an enemy and friend what you do but for sure as much as am not voting until if there was None of the above ...Uhuru anapenda binadamu

Sir Ezer I've never seen a President who matches the Colour of his tie with the colour of his eyes.I'll miss him a lot.

Timo Thy His Excellency,the president Uhuru Kenyatta is a down to earth. You can see him dancing to our local patriotic songs,Wearing our locally made 'kitenge', Wearing full combat uniform,the smile he always puts on and More so the developments like SGR and Express .

MaΕ© always advocating for peace, biggest development of infrastructure and paved road in sub-urban set-ups been done in his tenure. Non-tribal in appointing positions in power & also a problem solver...and also the strategy on all major road networks leading to Nairobi & JKIA Northern, South, East, West bypasses all interconnected...

Christopher Nzioka I πŸ’œ this guy. A family man. A Christian and an above average statesman. He had promised to be there for all Kenyans, Africa and the world post presidency. That is what I admire about, His Excellency. πŸŒπŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸΎπŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ

@Geomaxm The trouble he gave his security men when sneaking from statehouse and driving himself around without them. His ease of mingling with Kenyans without fear of what security issues are around him. The nyama choma and mahindi choma stopovers. In other words, his light momentsπŸ˜€

Stanley Hiram Mugo I will miss his work, his charisma and his suave style and swagger yet humble man ... He outlived my expectations having known he was a great soul at the beginning he is now a greater soul....God bless President Uhuru Kenyatta the 4th God Bless Kenya πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ
