The Kenyattas, Mois and Odingas are not descendants of political dynasties, AU Envoy for Infrastructure Raila Odinga said on KTN on Wednesday night. President Uhuru Kenyatta's father Jomo Kenyatta was Kenya's founding father in 1963, Raila's father Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was the first Vice President and the doyen opposition in Kenya, while Baringo Senator Gideon Moi's father Daniel arap Moi was Kenya's second President. If it was a dynasty, Uhuru would have been crowned the prince," Raila said. The Odingas and Kenyattas are often referred to as political dynasties since they have been part of the country’s leadership since Independence.
