During his stay in Kenya, he spoke out about the environment, corruption, human rights and poverty — issues that are close to his heart. He also visited a slum in Nairobi before embarking.
He advised the youths to desist from corruption. He urged them to resist the temptation of corruption, saying it's like sugar: 'You develop a taste for it but it's ultimately terrible for you.'
