BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya’s founding father, was named the winner of the country’s presidential election with 50.07 per cent of the vote last Saturday.
He has the name, the wealth – and the burden that comes with his heritage.
Unlike the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Uhuru faces indictment by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity committed after the previous elections in 2007, which left more than 1 000 people dead.
