President Uhuru Kenyatta says politics of dynasties will not get anybody into power.

Speaking  Thursday during the forty-first — and the last public commemoration of the death of Kenya's first President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta — Uhuru said leadership was not about where one is born. The race to succeed him has been portrayed, particularly by Deputy President William Ruto's supporters, as a clash between dynasties and hustlers.
