“Power is fleeting. Power is temporary,” was former President Mr Uhuru Kenyatta’s fiery message to his successor and the fifth President Mr William Ruto on Monday in a session with editors.

Responding to questions on the unfolding scenario of ‘targeting and humiliation’ by his successor, whom he readily concedes he did not support but lost the tussle in the last Presidential election, Uhuru told Ruto: “Power comes and goes, do your best for your people, not the people around you”.

Speaking to the journalists from the mainstream media the former President when asked if he would go meet Ruto if he were to ask him to, he responded: “He is my President now, I would do exactly as he asks me to do.”
“I was a frequent visitor to Kabarak and Kabarnet Gardens (residences of the Second President late Daniel Arap Moi) and Muthaiga (where the third President late Mwai Kibaki resided). I was the one who as President then, initiated the visit when I felt there was a matter over which I needed to either consult them or get their perspective”.

“Sometimes you leave somethings to God, do your part and go,’’ said the son of the founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta who on his own right ascended to power in 2012 after he was whitewashed by the Opposition candidate (Kibaki) in 2002 after Mzee Moi picked on him as his preferred successor.
