Why Uhuru will never look back after painful loss of the mountain

There is still an unwritten rule among Uhuru Kenyatta's diehard supporters that prohibits any comment on the incredible margin by which his successor and former deputy defeated his preferred successor in the August presidential election, causing him to lose his Mt Kenya backyard.

The former president's devastation is said to be so great that he rarely engages politicians outside of a small circle and spends most of his free time in the retirement home he built on his ranch in Trans Mara.

As a consummate politician, Uhuru now appears to be more at ease mingling with battle-scarred Congolese in the DRC's East than having a roast meat lunch at Burma market.
