I’m my own man: Ken Musyoka emerges from father’s shadow


Kennedy Musyoka Kalonzo wants to be seen as his own man that he says he is.

He does not like to be compared to his father, Kalonzo Musyoka, the National Super Alliance (Nasa) presidential running mate.

He wants people to appreciate that he has his personal ambitions, hopes and plans for the future.

Ken insists that being his father’s son did not really influence his nomination to Eala.
