There is no doubt that Uhuru Kenyatta has made a mark as the official leader of the opposition during the last 5 years. He has also weathered many political storms within his own Kanu party and has in the process matured a great deal.
This has caused many observers to urge him to seek the presidency for a second time despite the fact that this may be a lot trickier than in 2002 when it was all smooth sailing under the watchful eye and guiding hand of Uncle Dan. Incidentally that is the only name Uhuru has respectfully used on Moi while growing up in State House where he was a constant visitor to see his father. That is until he changed to "your excellency" in recent times. Hanks to the likes of Nicholas "Ouko Murder suspect" Biwott, Uhuru is not even sure of being in charge of Kanu as the matter is still in court.
They see the rich who have nothing to do will always end up tragically many times as alcoholics. Many poverty stricken Kenyans do not believe that being rich and comfortable can kill you, but it is the truth. Basically what keeps a human being alive is hope for a better tomorrow. This becomes tricky when you hav more money than you can spend in your lifetime.
It is said that this is the situation Uhuru Kenyatta was on when he was literally picked up from the bar and thrown into politics by Mr Moi, who was then the president. He climbed up fast and before anybody could say, “what the…” he was the Kanu presidential candidate and heir apparent to Moi. Those close to the youthful leader of the official opposition say that these days he has much more purpose in his life and his drinking has reduced dramatically. Not surprising that now he ha a reason to wake up in the morning. If that reason is not fighting back at Biwott, then it will usually be complexities of staying relevant in a very fluid political situation.
But then there is the mystery that will always hang at the back of many Kenyan minds about exactly what happened in the US where Uhuru supposedly went for his degree. Rumour has it that he never completed his studies while others say it was because he was deported over some drug-related allegations.
However the one about him being separated was true and his wife returned to be at his side during his presidential bid.
It is clear that Uhuru Kenyatta has shown us all a glimpse of what the younger generation an do if given an opportunity to rule this country. However as a result of his ubringing and past experiences it is difficult for him to really empathise over the plight of the ordinary Kenyan (although he has tried very hard to.)
It will be interesting to see how the chips fall for Uhuru in the forthcoming general elections. Difficult as it is to believe, it seems that a man who was a presidential candidate in the last general elections gaining millions of votes countrywide will find himself this time round, fighting very hard just to make it back to parliament.
