The hotel is obviously expensive but Uhuru has money and buying a meal at the hotel was nothing as compared to what he spends on a daily basis.
These are some of the things that he couldn't do while in office but he can now enjoy some bits of freedom although he still has highly detailed security officials who tail him wherever he goes.
