Uhuru endorsed for presidency in 2012

Kanu chairman Uhuru Kenyatta’s political star received a major boost on Saturday when 14 MPs from across the political divide endorsed him as Central Kenya leader, and for the presidency in 2012.

Mr Kenyatta marshalled the support of the MPs during a fund-raiser in aid of Kimunyu Secondary School in his Gatundu constituency as the fight over the control of the larger Mt Kenya region votes moved a notch higher.

Apart from Mr Kenyatta who is the Finance minister, Internal Security minister George Saitoti (PNU chairman) and Justice, Constitutional Affairs and National Cohesion minister Martha Karua (Narc Kenya leader) and Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka are also fighting for the region’s support in their bid for the top post.
