Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Michael Njogo Gitonga, President Uhuru Kenyatta’s look-alike, now wants a paternity test with the Head of State.<\/p>\n

In a candid interview with TV47 on Tuesday, August 24, Gitonga, nicknamed Uhunye, stated that he had not lost hope of meeting with the President\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

The Umoja, Nairobi resident added that he still dreams of meeting with ‘his brother’.<\/p>\n

“I think he is my brother (blood brother). I do not know yet. I would like to deny but also accept. I am unsure,” stated Gitonga.<\/p>\n

“All I am asking for is a DNA test.”<\/p>\n

He added that his life has taken turns and twists, especially after he rose to fame. The president’s look-alike admitted that he has been grappling with alcoholism and has been in and out of rehabilitation.<\/p>\n

Gitonga acknowledged that three months in rehab shaped his life and assisted him to cope with life and pressure.<\/p>\n

He also claimed that his 13-year-old daughter was allegedly assaulted sexually by an acquaintance. Gitonga alleged that he reported the case to the police, who are investigating the matter.<\/p>\n

The daughter was reportedly taken by nuns who promised to take care of her.<\/p>\n

“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 stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
