Anyone expecting Mutua to hide when US President Barack Obama visited Kenya in 2015 after describing him as an unintelligent, ignorant and immature junior senator from Illinois was shocked to see the new Machakos Governor worming his way to the rope-line of leaders who wanted to shake hands with the US President and exchange pleasantries.
As government spokesman, Mutua was forced to eat humble pie at a press conference he called to congratulate Obama after his election as US President in November 2008, just two years after he dismissed him for criticising the Mwai Kibaki administration.
Humble pie, however, does not add pounds to Mutua's political waistline. A veritable master of shortcuts, Mutua has dabbled in journalism, enterprise, film and book authorship with mixed results.
