US First Lady Jill Biden to visit Kenya in February

NAIROBI, Kenya Jan 19 – US First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is set to visit the country in February.

Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua disclosed this on Wednesday during an interview on Citizen Television JKL Show.

He said Jill’s visit is among many high-profile visits Kenya will have.

“We will be getting other high-profile leaders from different countries visiting soon,” he said.

He attributed the high rate of high-profile visits in the country to Kenya’s matured democracy.

‘Kenya’s place is high right now. I was invited to G7 as Kenya’s foreign minister with other ministers because of Kenya’s place in the world and the role we are playing in the peace process because of the democracy we have,” he said.

Jill, 71, is the oldest first lady in US history, while her 80-year-old husband Joe Biden is the oldest American president.

She is believed to play an influential role inside the White House and would be a key player in Biden’s reelection bid.
