NAIROBI, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- The following are news highlights in major Kenyan media outlets on Tuesday.

-- As he takes the oath of office today and starts his second term, President Uhuru Kenyatta will be with the gait of one who has run the political race of his life. It had been a dramatic and draining season for him and even his opponent Raila Odinga. Had he lost, Kenyatta would have become the first one-term president. By winning, he may as well have brought to an end the career of Odinga, whose domination of opposition politics has earned him accolades. (Daily Nation)

-- Kenya's tourism sector recorded a 10.4 percent growth in the first nine months of this year despite elections as the government works on introducing incentives. (The Star)
