Why Uhuru shelved AU job bid in favour of Raila

Murathe said Uhuru was not sure the government would have supported him, a factor which was crucial for the success of such a bid, adding that he now fully supports Raila for the top job.

He said that Uhuru had vowed to him that he would support Raila because he was a Kenyan and an ally and that victory for the Azimio leader would be a triumph for the country.
