Earlier, there was a protocol breach when the President arrived at the Manyani Airstrip on Friday.

As a norm, the President is always received by his deputy whenever they are in the same function but it was different on Friday.

When the President arrived for the Cabinet retreat, he was received by Interior CS Fred Matiang'i as his Deputy President William Ruto watched.

 Uhuru bowed down to Matiang'i before doing the same to Ruto due to the Ministry of Health protocols.
