In the photos, doings rounds on social media, the president is seen with students from the exclusive Pembroke House School and the rural Titus Ngoyoni Memorial Primary School from Marsabit County on two different occasions.

Kenyans on social media accused the president who giving the students from the exclusive school better treatment like providing for them seats during the photo shoot as well as providing red carpet treatment and letting them inside his office.

Most were angered that the children from the rural school in Marsabit were left to stand or squat during the photo shoot and had no kind of red carpet treatment that was previously offered to their counterparts from the exclusive school which had mostly white students.
