The recent past have seen Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua unleash a series of short video clips in several Kenyan vernacular languages urging Kenyans to divert from ethnic based politics.Dr Mutua declared: “I’m at that age when leaders take over national leadership all over the world. I’m in the age of the likes of JF Kennedy, Barack Obama and Margaret Thatcher when they took over power. Great leaders like Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great and Napoleon Bonaparte took over the mantle of leadership at my age, in their 40s and early 50s and not in their 60s, 70s or 80s.”
The second-term governor spoke at the Maendeleo Chap Chap offices in Kileleshwa, Nairobi.
