Uhuru in retirement: Will the city boy hop to Gichagi?

Unlike his predecessors, Uhuru Kenyatta rode into State House in 2013 without a real home in the African sense - a rural hamlet with cows and goats and acres of space for a sport of telephone farming.

This, unlike his father Jomo Kenyatta, whose Ichaweri home in Gatundu South was part of national folklore, for the old man never lived at State House "because the ghosts of colonialists roamed all over the place". Instead, he commuted daily from his Gatundu home to State House.
