Bolt's here

The World's fastest man Usain Bolt is in the country.

Bolt who holds the fastest time in the 100 and 200 meters arrived in the country Friday morning to endorse the Long run project by the Zeitz Foundation whose objective is a sustainable environment.

The foundation is focusing on encouraging 4 C's namely Conversation, Culture, Community and Commerce in regions the effects of global climate and environmental degradation are largely felt.

The Jamaican athlete says he is keen to see issues of environment and promotion of nature given priority.

The world record holder is also scheduled to adopt a cheetah and meet both the PM and president Kibaki before winding up his four day visit to the country.

The Zeitz foundation launched by Jochen Zeitz, the billionaire chief executive of sportswear firm, Puma, has branches in seven other countries.

In Kenya, the foundation is based on a 150 hectare land in Laikipia, and the locals are expected to largely benefit from its initiatives that will see tourist sites opened from next year.

Bolt will be the chief guest at this weekend's official launch of the Zeitz Foundation's programmes in Kenya.
