Kenya Kwanza lead digital strategist Dennis Itumbi has detailed his fallout with retired president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Itumbi who had won Uhuru's heart in his heydays of presidency fell out with the latter in his second term.
Speaking in a TV interview, the social media activist blamed Uhuru for their earlier unforeseen hostility even after successful political campaigns in 2013 and 2017.
According to Itumbi, a journalist by profession, Uhuru's many friends had left his fold and that pointed to him as the only problem as an individual.
"Everybody who was his friend is no longer with him. Surely the problem cannot be us, it must be him," he said.

He added that the former president always cuts communication with whoever he has fallen out with.
For that matter, Itumbi vowed he would never lower his guard to contact Uhuru.
He however specified that he would not block his contact.
"It is up to him if he will ever make a call. But I'm not desperate for his call. I, unlike Kimani Ichung'wah, I would not block him. The only thing I'll never do is kneel down for a fellow man. I won't give a damn whether he calls or not," said Itumbi.
Until March 2020, Itumbi had served as the director of the Digital and Diaspora Communications under the Presidential Strategic Communications Unit (PSCU).
He was fired alongside James Kinyua who was in charge of Events and Branding at State House, Edward Irungu (Press), Munyori Buku (External Communications and Media ), and Eric Ng'eno (Speechwriting and Research).
