Revealed! President Uhuru Hired A 1.8M per Hour Private Jet to Japan and Russia

Kenyans are shocked following the revelations that President Uhuru Kenyatta hired a private jet from a Dubai company, at a whooping 1.8M charge per hour for his trips to Japan and Russia. The private jet, Airbus A318-112 Elite A6-CAS belonged to a Dubai based company. It landed in Mombasa last Sunday at 5:33pm. President Uhuru Kenyatta has his official presidential jet, the Airforce One, that is paid for by the tax payer and thus Kenyans are asking why the head of state should be so extravagant to hire a private jet on while on a national duty.

The Airbus has the widest and tallest cabin of any business jet handling up to 19 passengers making it ideal for corporate groups and large families.“There are three spacious cabins with sliding partition doors for privacy. The Additional Centre Tanks allow the Airbus to fly nine hours non-stop while still allowing room for a cargo hold for intercontinental range,” the company thus describes the plane.Images of the aircraft ooze nothing but comfort.

Mahogany interiors, pure leather couches, sparkling bathrooms that would shame similar spaces in any commercial airliner. Then there are the other fringe benefits. A surround system, and DVD player in each zone complete with LCD TV displays.

Data from Flightradar24.com shows that the A6CAS plane left Mombasa on October 20 and headed to Almaty Airport in in Kazakhstan before proceeding to Tokyo, touching down the following day.

“The presence of His Excellency the President and Her Excellency the First Lady at this very important ceremony for Japan is reflection of the time-tested relationship between Kenya and Japan that has grown stronger over the years,” Kenya’s ambassador to Japan Solomon Maina said.

On Wednesday, it left Tokyo for Sochi, again via Almaty. Sochi was the location of the Russia-Africa summit.

“On arrival, the President was received at Sochi International Airport by senior Russian Government officials and the Kenyan Chargé D’Affaires in Moscow, Ms Winnie Mwanjala,” read a statement by the PSCU.
