Uhuru's Look-Alike Asks for DNA Test to Confirm Whether They Have Blood Relations
President Kenyatta’s look-alike Michael Njogo Gitonga says he would like to have a DNA test to confirm whether they are related by blood.
In an interview with TV47, Gitonga alias ‘Uhunye’ said he is still yearning to meet with the president and his family.
“I think he is my brother (blood brother). I do not know yet. I would like to deny but also accept. I am unsure. All I am asking for is a DNA test,” Gitonga said.
The 46-year-old resident of the Umoja estate in Nairobi said his life has taken twists and turns since he rose to fame last year. He admitted that he has been battling alcoholism and has been in and out of rehabilitation.
Gitonga also claimed that his 13-year-old daughter was abused sexually by an acquaintance and the matter is under investigation.
He said the teenager was taken by Catholic nuns who promised to take care of her.
“I never thought anyone would defile my daughter. It really pains me when I think about it. I do not wish anyone plays around with my daughter,” Gitonga proclaimed.
Gitonga rose to fame in August last year after his photos went viral on social media, with Kenyans noticing his striking resemblance to Uhuru.
The father of three said his later mother worked as a security officer in Uhuru’s home area of Gatundu many years ago and does not know anything about his biological father.
