How Uhuru's silent power is influencing Kenyan politics

Many allies of Kenya's fourth President Uhuru Kenyatta were outraged when Kenya Kwanza leaders accused him of sponsoring the recent Generation Z uprising that seemed sent President William Ruto’s administration back to the drawing board.

As the country recovers from the bloody protests that left a trail of death and destruction, ODM leader Raila Odinga’s remarks that Uhuru prompted him to reach out a political deal with President Ruto has stirred up a hornet’s nest.

Scores of leaders and political commentators termed Odinga's claim as convenient to cover his political mischief to help him stem the tidal wave of political backlash, which has arisen from his decision of working with the Ruto administration.

Some leaders drawn from the Mt Kenya region said Odinga was attempting to cling to Uhuru’s political coattails to salvage his dwindling political fortunes after jumping into a ship sailing in a turbulent sea.

Political analysts further argued that by dragging Uhuru’s name into his political maneuvers, the ODM was trying to appease the one million voters in the region who supported his presidential bid and were now accusing him of political betrayal.
