If President Uhuru Kenyatta thinks that he will be an influential figure after his tenure as head of state ends, then he is dreaming.

Unlike the sycophants that are surrounding Uhuru, and the confused group of politicians calling themselves Kieleweke who are hanging on his court, I want to tell the son of Ngina the bitter truth – you cannot continue being Mt Kenya’s tribal chieftain.

The political history of Kenya is riddled with examples of regional gods who became nobodies the moment they handed over power.

To think that Uhuru is different is to be a bit more juvenile with the country’s social-politico dynamics.

Influence is all about power, the moment you hand over power the authority is gone and even small boys, known as 'Ihii' in Gikuyu, will not listen to you.

Communities in Kenya follow a certain leader because they believe they can benefit if power comes to such a politician. With Uhuru not running again, he has no hope to serve the people of Mt Kenya.

Daniel Moi became a nobody after handing over power, even those who ate from his pocket daily disappeared the second he handed over state power.

Lee Njiru, his personal secretary, will tell you that the journey to Kabarak was very lonely, and with only about five people.

Mwai Kibaki became a nobody in politics when his time to retire came, even his village could not listen to him when he wanted them to elect Mugambi Gichuki.

Instead, they settled on Mary Wambui who was reportedly unwanted by the Kibaki family because she was allegedly Kibaki's side chick.

The Mt Kenya region rallied behind Uhuru because he was the new kid to give hope to the community.

Now, some people want Uhuru to believe that he will remain a kingpin after 2022.

No way, forget about it son of Jomo, the next Mt Kenya political bigwig will come from William Kabogo, Moses Kuria, Anne Waiguru, Mwangi wa Iria, Peter Kenneth.

Take that to the bank!
