This is now her third visit in the Kenya but the first one since becoming US First Lady following her husband’s victory a couple of years ago.

“I have many incredible memories here. In fact, I told my granddaughter Naomi Biden that coming here changed my life and that’s why she wanted to join me,” she said.

Jill, the Professor of English, said she was glad to be back, adding that she could not have asked for a warmer welcome.
