"I wish to clarify that I indeed I traveled to Nairobi from Bomet this morning with my wife who is in the essential service sector and who was required for an official engagement by her employer in Nairobi," he clarified.
His statement further noted that his travel via helicopter was not new, stating: "...I have once in a while been using the same means of transport to go to various destinations."
