Did UHURU “bribe” God to be born from KENYATTA’s family?

When the curtain fell on our beloved founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta on August 22nd 1978, his son Uhuru Kenyatta was only 17 years old.

Like you and I, indeed like all human beings, he did not choose his parents; he did not choose to be born in Kenya; he did not choose to be born a Kikuyu, just as he did not choose his height or his complexion, et cetera. Our creator denied all of us the luxury of choosing our parents, tribe, nationality, race, et cetera.

For Raila, Karua, Kenneth, et cetera to keep saying one family cannot continue ruling, or that Kenya is not a dynasty, and so on, is not only malicious but also the height of unbridled envy, evil, jealousy and pathological hatred. What do they mean by “one family ruling?”

Apart from Mzee Jomo Kenyatta alias Son of Wambui, who else was president from that family; and are members of the Burning Spear’s family prevented, by the Constitution, from vying for the presidency? And could anybody quote the relevant sections, clauses and/or chapters preventing Uhuru Muigai from vying for the presidency on account of being the son of the Burning Spear. Or how does the issue of “one family cannot continue ruling” arise?

Besides, the Burning Spear was President of Kenya not of the Kikuyu/GEMA communities; and he ruled as an individual Kenyan citizen, as mandated by the Constitution. The Presidency was not a collegiate by the entire Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Family!

Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta did not inherit any seat, at all, from his father; because there was, naturally, no seat to be inherited! He first stood, for parliament, in 1997 and was unsuccessful. If indeed his father was a monarch, how would he have competed and lost, in the first instance? Surely, let us use our gumptions more often!

He was KANU’s presidential candidate in 2002 and lost, honourably, to President Kibaki, and conceded, pronto, even before the tallying was completed! That act, in itself, talks volumes about Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta.

Kenya is not a dynasty, and this is not even debate. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta was left, by his beloved father, as a young teenager, to a widowed young mother.

As Mama Ngina’s first son, a lot was expected of him. He must have gone through a traumatic phase: Denial, depression, acceptance and, finally, healing. It is never easy, at all.
When he participates in political competition, he does so like any other individual Kenyan and/or any other Kenyan citizen; offering himself to the people, the ultimate judges, for consideration; to be either elected or rejected democratically.

 In doing so, and like all Kenyans seeking leadership positions, he must meet the qualification requirements and standards, as set out in the Kenyan Constitution.

There is nothing to do with his father, monarchy or dynasty; because Kenya is a Republic. A commonsense thing, you would say.

So for those questioning about how Kenyatta’s family acquired should just use the institutions provided by our constitution instead of blaming Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta!
