A notable symbol of the Kenyan presidency is the Presidential chair, which is always present wherever the head of state goes, accompanied by the Presidential standard, red carpet, motorcade, and other distinctive elements.
Given its significance, the chair is treated with great respect even when the president is not present. Few individuals have the opportunity to approach it, let alone touch it. It is highly unusual for anyone other than the President to sit in the chair.
