Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua went into historical books as the first Kenyan journalist to interview President Joseph Kabila of Zaire/Congo in the 90's, records a local daily.
Mutua interviewed the President after he took over leadership from his father who had been assassinated.
During that time, the now Machakos governor who was working for SBS Television based in Australia before was honored with an opportunity many die dreaming about in life.
Mutua has risen to become one of the most powerful leaders in this country.
He decided to leave the Government Spokesman's position to contest for the Machakos gubernatorial seat, a move that paid him off.
Mutua was born and raised in Makina area, Kibera slums in Nairobi.
He studied at Toi Primary School and later moved to Riruta.

He used to work in different areas including Kawangware where he mixed sand and gravel for construction purpose.
Mutua has declared his presidential ambition ahead of the 2022 polls.
The governor believes he is the best person to change this country if elected President.
