President Uhuru Kenyatta will once again this Saturday face his restless backyard of Mt Kenya when he addresses a convention of social and political leaders at the Sagana River State Lodge in Nyeri county.
The convention, for which invites are already out, is being held in a familiar place where Kenyatta retreats to speak to his backyard when faced with a rebellion in his vote-rich home region.
The area is seen to be growing weary of being left without a kingpin when the president retires in 2022.
