President Uhuru Kenyatta Photocopy Michael Njogo Gitonga, a father of three is one of the few people who appreciate the face masks for hiding his face.

Njogo Gitonga uses the facemask to hide his face when he walks out in public. He can undoubtedly be mistaken for President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Their likeness is so incredible that he has been nicknamed “Uhunye” in Umoja estate where he lives.

“I cannot walk out of this estate without people asking me for handouts, I have suffered from this name,” he says.

“It confuses me because I’m confused as to why I look like President Kenyatta, it is very unusual,” Njogo told Inooro TV.

Others said it was photoshop while others asked him to do a DNA test. But to do a DNA test with who?

Speaking to Inooro TV, Njogo disclosed that he has never come close to the President or his family. But in the 1950s and 1960s, his late mother worked in Gatundu as a security officer. She used to travel with Politicians,  and that was a long time ago.

If he ever manages to meet the country’s boss, Njogo’s says his first question would be whether they are brothers.
