By this time, a daughter and son of the soil, Martha Karua and Peter Kenneth, had started campaigning for the presidency and confusion had ensued.
Michuki's remarks that Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta was the Mt Kenya region kingpin and the de facto leader of the Agikuyu community spelt doom for Karua and Kenneth's political ambitions.
