President William Ruto and his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta’s Ichaweri meeting sent a message that the Kenyatta family name remains in the country’s political realm.

Although none of the Kenyatta’s today holds a senior government position, the family name refuses to fizzle out of Kenya’s politics despite efforts by the Kenya Kwanza brigade during the 2022 presidential campaigns to obliterate it - the bile continued after ascending to power.

In the heat of the campaigns, the family’s name was dragged into viscous vitriol after its son, then President, Uhuru Kenyatta supported Raila Odinga, as opposed to his then deputy, now President, William Ruto.
