“Anybody who is plotting to bring division between us let them be told that Tanzania and Kenya have coexisted peacefully in the past and will continue to live in harmony,” Suluhu said. “I was in Uganda to sign a deal but my official state visit is to Kenya,” Suluhu said, amid applause from the lawmakers. "I am delighted to get the opportunity to address the joint sitting of Senate and National Assembly of Kenya," she said. Suluhu is the second visiting head of state to address a joint sitting of Parliament in the history of independent Kenya. Retired Tanzania President Jakaya Kikwete was the first visiting president to address a joint sitting in October 2015.
