President Uhuru Kenyatta has given up on leaders from Mt Kenya region for what he sees as betrayal after the collapse of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).
Allies of the President who have had a close interaction with him in recent weeks say the Head of State seems to have abandoned his earlier quest to “leave the region in safe hands” and instead decided to leave its fate in the people’s hands.
From their campaigns against the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) to their support for Deputy President William Ruto, whom the President considers to have invaded his backyard, Uhuru now thinks the leaders from the region have not only betrayed but also abandoned him.
“He feels betrayed and frustrated by the very people he believes he wanted to assist by preparing a better future for,” Nyeri town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu told People Daily.
Wambugu, revealed that Uhuru was still unhappy with the BBI outcome and the people who felled it. The lawmaker says leaders from Mt Kenya have become the face of defiance and rebellion against the President.
“We were with the President somewhere and he said that he finds it hard to forgive some people because the route that they took us through (lead to the fall of BBI), since he cannot go to that length of bringing together Raila Odinga, Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Gideon Moi on the table, then the person who is supposed to be his assistant, with the backing of Moses (Kuria) and other leaders from our region decided to fight the proposals,” the MP said.
BBI fall
The President is also said to have decided to go slow on talks he had initiated with opposition leaders.
Multiple interviews with the allies painted a picture of an unhappy man, who has become “very disinterested” with the politics of his backyard and is focusing on his development agenda and his legacy.
He is also said to be dismissive of the ongoing unity talks initiated by Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, The Service Party (TPS) leader Mwangi Kiunjuri and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria seeking to reinvent some of the gains the region is believed to have lost with the fall of the BBI such as increased revenue and more constituencies.
Uhuru’s allies say that while the President has said all leaders were free to discuss and shape the destiny of the region, he is not willing to engage them.
He has, however, taken a position that before he leaves office, he will tour his backyard to inform the people of the good things he had prepared for them through BBI, how they were lost and who was responsible.
“The boss’s focus is more on development and building his legacy. Ukienda kumwambia hiyo mambo ya siasa ya mlima, mtakosana (if you try to talk to him about Mt Kenya politics, it will not end well),” a source disclosed to People Daily.
“In fact, he does not have any preferred choice and he told the leaders, particularly those seeking to succeed him as the region’s kingpin, to first win the support of the people,” the source added....

Seems finally he sobered up and listened to intelligences (NIS). Ruto lead is now unassailable and trying to stop him now will only lead to pain.
Uhuru has tried everything - spent 4yrs giving them anti-Ruto forces all the weapons, resources and arsenals - and they have all failed.
Now it's everyone for themselves - Uhuru faces no consequences - just a tattered legacy thanks to squanders of Jubilee 2.0 (so tattered nobody is likely to use Jubilee in 2022) - but the Kieleweke have to go and face the angry ground - with COVID/IMF.
But part of me tells me this was always the plan. Yes he has tried almost everything against WSR but I still did not see any blood on the streets.
Btw when is BBI appeal at Supreme Court being filled? Seem we heard lots of noise - in notice of appeal - but no actual appeal has been filled.

Uhuru followed bad advice. Actually its Ruto Rift Valley and Mt Kenya who should not forgive Uhuru.
In 2017 he was voted by Mt Kenya and Rift Valley and the win defended by Ruto. What did Uhuru do , First thing destroyed Jubilee party secondly demoted Ruto and gave Matiangi all his duties and worse of all destroyed Mt Kenya businesses, took all development to the opposition areas.
And BBI was just a smokescreen , it was going to make a very powerful president and take control of Judiciary and legislature to executive . Having lived in Nyayos era I wouldnt never want Kenyans to trade the freedom and distiction of of duties for a few parliamentary seats. If he is really interested in devolution let him push for law amendments to increase the Devolved fund and introduce ward fund. Benefits my foot. Amongst Mt Kenya Region only Nakuru and Kiambu were going to benefit with additional constituencies.

I know. I tried to modify and I couldn’t
Uhunye earned this hostility by persecuting his foot soldiers just to prop the hand shake. They are repaying him in kind.
Remember Alice Wahome assaulting IEBC official over tens of votes even when it was clear Uhunye was winning as Babu boycotted? Next thing they withdrew her security and she was nearly carjacked at Westlands.
Hatred and contempt is cultivated.

Changing IN for ON - those are examples of preposition. Not proposition. See we are not going to get into such little things
