A man’s resemblance to the first president of Kenya, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, has seen him gain attention.
Michael Ngige said children approached and compared him to the late head of state, saying he looked like the politician.
The comparison aroused curiosity within Ngige, who approached his mother for answers and clarification.
“I asked her who my father was. As soon as I asked her that question, she slapped me so hard that I hit the wall and started seeing stars. She beat me and warned me against asking the same question again,” he told Kikuyu Nation TV.
As he narrated, the curiosity caused a rift between him and his mother, and he said that he had been punished wrongly.
He disclosed the man who lived with them was not his biological father but his stepdad, so he was right to ask about his biological dad.
“That man did not love me but his kids because I was not biologically his. My mum always listened to her man and would occasionally punish me whenever her lover told me I had done something wrong.
Sometimes I would run away and sleep outside or sleep at my neighbours because of being beaten by my mum,” Ngige lives in the US said.
The elderly man, whose mother is 80, said he never stopped asking his mum about his biological father, but she refused to have that conversation with him.
He added that his mother and the late ex-president lived in proximity, and her Member of Parliament (MP) was Peter Mbiyu Koinange.
Mbiyu was the long-standing confidant and friend of Kenyatta. He also served under his successor, President
Daniel Arap Moi
The clip went viral online, and social media users were heading to the comment section to react.
