President Uhuru Kenyatta’s brother Muhoho Kenyatta, Baringo Senator Gideon Moi and ODM leader Raila Odinga had a meeting on the morning of Tuesday, April 13, 2021. These individuals are notable for being the sons of Kenya’s founding fathers.
According to a statement by Gideon Moi, the meeting took place at Raila Odinga’s home in Karen, Nairobi.
“I am deeply impressed by Raila Odinga’s quick and steady recovery; a clear indication of his resilience even in the face of adversity. We wish him good health, long life and boundless joy as one of our country’s foremost patriots,” the senator said.
Odinga had contracted Covid-19 and went public about how much the virus had affected him.
The meeting is likely to have some political undertones due to the personalities involved and their common agenda in the Building Bridges Initiative. Being sons of Kenya’s founding fathers, they naturally align with significant political movements.
They are also sons of the country’s founding fathers, Jomo Kenyatta, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga and Daniel Moi. The latter ruled for 24 years.
The presence of Uhuru’s brother in the meeting also indicated that the discussion had the head of state’s blessing.
Muhoho, who mostly spends his time running the Kenyatta family businesses, has been reported to be a master political strategist. He is the ear of his elder brother, Uhuru. As a son of one of the founding fathers, his insights carry significant weight.
President Kenyatta was expected to meet Odinga over the weekend to iron out issues. This was regarding the future of the BBI in respect to ODM Deputy Party Leader Wycliffe Oparanya’s dalliance with Deputy President William Ruto.
Sources claim that Oparanya’s u-turn on the priority of the BBI and his meeting with the DP had raised concerns at State House. This emphasizes the impact of the sons of Kenya’s founding fathers on national politics.
