Chief Executive Officer of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is in Kenya on the second leg of his historic visit to Africa. He started his ‘African mission’ in Nigeria on August 30.

In Kenya, Zuckerberg said he was looking forward to learn about mobile money, ‘‘where Kenya is the world leader,’‘ his post on Facebook read. As he did in Nigeria, he will meet with entrepreneurs and developers in the east African country.

‘‘I’m starting at a place called iHub, where entrepreneurs can build and prototype their ideas,’‘ he stated.

He spoke about two engineers he met — Fausto and Mark – who had designed a system to help people use mobile payments to buy small amounts of cooking gas, which is a lot safer and better for the environment than charcoal or kerosene.

Lunch with Cabinet Secretary on Information and Communications

This is what he posted about his first lunch in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

‘‘I had lunch in Nairobi with Joseph Mucheru, the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary of Information and Communications. We talked about internet access and his ambitious plans for connecting everyone in Kenya.

‘‘We ate at MAMA Oliech Restaurant – a local place everyone recommended. One of my favorite parts of traveling to a new country is trying the food. I enjoyed ugali and a whole fried tilapia for the first time and loved them both!’‘
