You're right.
Uhuru mistake was to imagine GEMA had made him a muthamaki like Raila is to Luos.
He didnt realize Mt Kenya interests came first - and his personal or family interest second.
Whatever he does know is seen as him pushing a narrow personal interest.
And it doesnt help that economy has tanked - and there is living Kibaki folks can contrast him with.
Most kikuyus feel Uhuru has embarrassed them by running down the economy.
They feel he has let down Kibaki and them.
People have no time to hear about COVID sijui nini...especially when you evicted people in covid and stole KEMSA billions.
Yes there is visible infrastructural project done - but everyone knows the debt binge & mismanagement has invited IMF back to town.
If Uhuru had been listening - these messages have been coming through for last four and half years.
Now he holds a PG and ordered no pictures taken because he is basically running on empty.
And now double it down by trying to sell Raila
And try to betray & undo the peace with Kalenjin people that could potentially reopen wars that could lead millions sufferings.
Uhuru will be luckly if he can convert 20 percent of Mt kenya to vote Raila.
In the next few weeks we will see him raving and ranting like a nut case - speaking all the kikuyus words he know

How will people react - will they stay away like they did in Nyeri out of respect.
Or will they confront him?
I am seeing confrontation coming - especially if Ruto secures the services of Moses Kuria and Gachaguas.
People just need few warriors like those to take the war to Muthamaki openly and publicly
His lackeys have face the same fate - with people either staying away or shouting them down - with chants of Ruto - and after couple of such episodes folks get the message.
Uhuru is not one to go down without a fight - so he will play very rough the next few months - Ruto never backs down - and with Gachagua it will be full political civil war.
Uhurua 2013 and 2017 anger was relatable because it was a manifest of Mt Kenya anger against Raila.
The other day during Akorinos gathering he tried to play the anger card with no traction . He tried to call people opposing handshake washenzi and it was used against him.
Politics is a science , it knows no logic. People decide the direction they will take mainly based on historical and future factors. Kibaki left a good history for Mt Kenya , Uhuru didnt nor is he the future.
His participation in propping up Raila will only cause apathy in Anti Gema Base and rejuvinate the Anti Raila base.
