Not all Kikuyus support President Uhuru Kenyatta

Yes, with all the Kikuyu blood running through my thick Kikuyu veins, I did not vote for President Kenyatta. This may come as a shock to all you that say ‘Oh, Wakikuyu pekee ndio walimpigia Uhuru kura’ (Kikuyus are the only ones that voted for Uhuru). True, Kikuyus did vote for him but for your information so did plenty of Luos, Kambas and Luhyas.

Now don’t get me wrong, I take deep pride in my ethnicity as I'm sure most of you do and I respect the President too. But as shocking as it may sound, not all Kikuyus support their tribesmen politically and not all Luos support Raila either. Some of us simply prefer to vote with our brains and not our tribe.
