If Uhuru be Ugandan, Kenya tribalism solved

In Summary
This vast territory was only transferred to British East Africa (Kenya) in 1902, for ease of administering the Uganda Railway, which at the time terminated at Port Florence (Kisumu).

That is why we need the East African Federation. Otherwise what we deserve is good, effective leaders, irrespective of ethnicity.
What does it matter, this ancestry stuff? Little, I would say, except if this Kenyatta-Kabalega thing can help Kenya get over its tribalised politics. If that indeed can happen, it would then be the silver lining from a story that is of limited significance in a fast-evolving stage of our political history, where the competence and positive legacy of leaders matters much more than ancestry.
