MY TAKE AWAY FROM UHURU INTERVIEW.
This hustler-vs-dynasty narrative will end badly for us, if we allow it to go on.
Today we are pointing fingers at ‘certain families’ and calling them ‘dynasties’ – and the reason we are poor. Someone is using that narrative to justify why we must take away from these dynasties for us to get ahead. Gradually the distinction of who is hustler and who is not is fading and very soon we will be fighting between who is and who is not, a hustler/dynasty in the village.
Tomorrow the fingers will move from ‘#certainfamilies’ to ‘#certaincommunities’ which will now be called ‘dynasties’. And someone will be justifying the need to take away from these communities, for ‘Kenya to get ahead’.

If the LOGIC is about certain FAMILIES, I can also use the same logic to ask why only 2 TRIBES have ruled Kenya since independence. If your father was a doctor and you became a doctor, does that mean you cannot treat patients because your father was a doctor?
~ President Uhuru Kenyatta
” Kenyans should not be blinded by noise that BBI will use I don’t know Ksh2 billion or Ksh14 billion. How much has been looted by some of those complaining loudest ! Mwengine anachocha Mt Kenya Wapinge BBI na ameiba mabilioni kupitia government projects which we will recover soon”
~President Uhuru to him.
President Uhuru Kenyatta: If someone wants to use the logic that because my father was President, & now I am president, our Family is a dynasty. Does that mean if your father was a doctor that you should not be one?
Mt Kenya listening….
