A photo of a man who resembles President Uhuru Kenyatta has become a topic of discussion on social media after the image went viral. The resemblance between the two is so uncanny that some netizens thought it was a throwback photo of President Uhuru. Others even wanted the man to take a DNA test.

During an interview at Inooro TV, Michael Njogo Gitonga says the fame is a blessing in disguise as it comes with its challenges. The father of three says he cannot walk freely outside without people asking him for handouts. He says people around his neighborhood in Umoja estate even call him Uhuru or Uhunye.
