Nairobi, Feb. 17 -- If I had the chance to meet former President Uhuru Kenyatta, I would tell him that he is still our leader and that we still love and pray for him, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said.

The former Head of State visited Mr Gachagua's home county of Nyeri for the first time since leaving power, where he had attended the burial of the late Assistant Inspector General of Police King'ori Mwangi at Ndugamano village in Tetu constituency on Saturday.
