[PHOTOS] Uhuru's last inspection parade

President Uhuru Kenyatta was on Friday accorded final honours by the Kenya Defence Forces as his era nears its end.

When he arrived at the venue at around 12: 00 pm, President Uhuru Kenyatta atop his ceremonial car acknowledged greetings from soldiers.

The ceremony was held at the Ulinzi complex in Langata.

Officers from the Kenya army, Kenya airforce and Kenya Navy matched to give their last respects to the Commander in Chief.

The farewell parade was led by the Chief of Defence Forces, General Robert Kariuki Kibochi, among other officers.

The Kenya Defence Forces have accorded Uhuru the last hurrah as a sign of honour.

Giving the C-in-C his last hurrah signifies an end to the relationship between the commander and the troops.

According to the Department of Defence, the ceremony is in line with military traditions and customs of holding farewell ceremonies for outgoing presidents, who are also Commanders-in-Chief of the Forces.
