Photos of Former Murang'a Senator Kembi Gitura with an unshaved beard have been shared widely in social media platforms, with many making up stories as to why the former Deputy Speaker has adopted a new hair do and donned a moustache.
A section of youths have been speculating that the man with oozing wisdom decided not to shave after he was trounced by his law student in the hotly contested Senatorial race.
Mr Gitura rejected the outcome of Jubilee party primaries and even went to the extent of launching a petition seeking for fresh nominations in Kiharu and Mathioya Constituencies which he claimed to be his 'strongholds'.
Another theory was that Mr Gitura is now not under pressure to shave since he is no longer living a public life.
According to John Kamau, a frequent social media user, the lawyer is out of the public limelight and is free to live as he pleases.
"Now that Mr Gitura is living his own private life, he doesn't have to worry too much about his looks," Mr Kamau told KK Online News.
Others thought the photos had just been photoshopped. To them, the photos were too unreal to be true. There is no way the senator they knew could don such a look.
Arguments broke out in social media platforms with some claiming that someone had photoshoped the photo of Kembi out of malice.
However, Mr Kembi said he was indeed enjoying life.
Talking exclusively to KK ONLINE NEWS, the veteran politician who sounded really relaxed laughed off claims that photos of him with a beard were photoshopped, and confirmed that they were indeed real.
"No, that was not photoshop. But having or not having a beard does not change who I am as a person," he said.I am well and enjoying life.
Kembi who has been largely missing in action since the elections said he is now concentrating on his businesses.
"I want to keep off the limelight and politics for now and do my own things," he said.
Murang'a residents have been proposing that the lawyer should be considered in Uhuruto's government due to his wealth of political experience.
