Michael Gitonga came to the limelight in August last year after his photos went viral thanks to the fact that he bears a striking resemblance to President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Many brands offered to help him live a decent life to an extent of gifting him a new car, a house and a holiday.

He resurfaced recently saying he was “used” by brands and dumped.  He vacated a post 4-bedroom house in Kilimani house he had been given.

He mentioned off Camera that he had been told to go back to the house in Kilimani but didn’t want to, because he felt his life was in Danger.'
