Ever since the return of multi-party democracy, Kenya has never realised any freshly-minted president with all of the country’s four presidents being drawn from the old guard.
Retired presidents Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki were all veterans whose political careers date back to pre-independence days while President Uhuru Kenyatta served as Cabinet Minister and Deputy Prime Minister before rising to the top job.
He was first nominated as MP in October 1999 when Mark Too resigned to pave way for his entry to Parliament before he was elevated to become Minister for Local Government.

The shock ahead of Mukhisa Kituyi (
pictured), the new entrant into the presidential race, could be making push-ups in Kimilili right now.
His entry has confused Western Kenya and the handshake clique, more than we can see. Since he is likely to be in President Uhuru Kenyatta’s endorsement list, he awaits cold political shoulders every presidential hopeful’s serving. Whatever the case, the time for his sifting has come.
In case the handshake alliance in-group welcomes him, so be it. If he is not welcomed which is the most likely ending, he could be in for a shock.
