Peter Kenneth, who is expected to run for Nairobi governor under a Jubilee ticket, has started visiting places in Nairobi. His first stop was in Mukuru Kayaba slums, where he interacted with residents and met with the reality of slum life.
Kenneth walked on a dangerous sewage bridge, which may have been an attempt to understand the kind of life slum dwellers go through. He also played 'draft' with locals and met with mama mbogas and small kiosk owners.
Context ¶
Mukuru Kayaba, like many slums in Nairobi, is an informal settlement within Nairobi's Industrial Area, where life is difficult for many residents.
Kenneth's actions were seen as an act of humility by some, while others believe it is just one of the many tactics politicians use during the electioneering period.
Response and Consequences ¶
Kenneth will face off with several other aspirants, including Governor Evans Kidero, Mike Sonko, Miguna Miguna, and Kenneth Marende, in the August 8 General Election.
