Yes having failed nationally - he is trying to regenerate as GEMA kingpin.
He faces many problems in his new quest to be GEMA king
1) He succeeded a fellow Kikuyu president - so GEMA have comparison - Kibaki - who is still alive and minding his business. Maybe Kiambu people will be a little generous - but why would somebody in Nyeri entertain a failure - when they have Kibaki to be proud of.
2) Economy had started having issues - and with COVID-19 - it totally kaput - we have a recession - banks are facing huge crisis - and if this covid-19 continues - then gov will be broke, people will be broke, companies will go under. It will be back to Moi time of 2002. Perfect recipe for a revolution. Because people will have nothing to lose anymore.
3) Well having realized Raila is no go - zone (not even as decoy) - he still has to address the elephant in the room - a fallout with Ruto/kalenjin nation - endanger 1M kikiyus who live in rift valley - and what is Uhuru solution to that? That he is a lion won't help - Kibaki was PORK in 2007. So he needs to address that - hostage crisis. As long as he is not addressing that elephant in the room - first Kikuyu diaspora in RV will not want anything to do with him - and then because every kikuyu almost has a relative there - the rest will also want nothing with someone starting a reckless war - with disastrous consequences.
4) He is now lameduck - this is final year - nobody really care what he thinks - most people in gov are strategizing for post-Uhuru kenya - many ministers will be going home to try look for jobs. Nobody will be threaten with firing.
5) He is a dynasty - Ruto has managed to inspire hustler revolution - that has rallied kenyans against the big families like Kenyattas.
You realise they have to maintain their wealth by being tribal Kingpins aka Dynasties.
Moi was the most powerful person in Kenya but still he fell with aid of Uhuru.
He wont succeed. Truth of the matter Mt Kenyans had money in their pocket even during Mois time. Uhuru made Mt Kenyans poorer when he weilded power. While the same was witnessed during the end of his fathers rule atleast we can say alikuwa mzee and his time was nearing the end. Uhuru has enrinched himself and his family on behest of Mt Kenyans and if not carefull he will lead Kenya to a civil war. This time he wont be able to use Mt Kenyans to walk scot free.
