Omwenga who is also an experienced journalist said Uhuru can use the next general election to make up for his father's sins and to help Kenya usher in a new era.

Kenya's first President the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Uhuru's father, has been accused of perpetuating tribalism, land grabbing, political assassinations among other sins which, according to the commentator, his son can atone in the next polls.

In his opinion piece published by the Star on Saturday, the journalist said the only way the President can make amends for Jomo's sins is by stopping Deputy President William Ruto from rising to power.

He said the DP, who is regarded as the frontrunner in the race to the State House, should be barred from occupying the country's powerful office because he has allegedly grabbed too much.

"If Uhuru succeeds in having Ruto stopped from becoming President in 2022 on because he has grabbed too much, he would have atoned for his father," Omwenga wrote.

On how Uhuru can usher a new era for Kenya, he said the Head of State should ensure his handshake partner, ODM leader Raila Odinga, becomes the next President.

By helping the former Prime Minister take over power, the analyst said Uhuru will pay his price for allegedly rigging Raila in the last two polls.

"If Raila succeeds him as President courtesy of the handshake, Uhuru would have atoned for his own political sins related to 2013 and 2017 elections," he said. 

"That’s an atonement that will make him and his father shine even brighter for posterity," Omwenga added.
