Notably, KFCB chairman Mr. Ezekiel Mutua offered a prominent rebuttal, attributing the phenomenon of adopting maternal surnames to a contemporary trend, asserting its absence in past generations.
Citing former US President Barack Obama as an exemplar, Mutua emphasized that authentic masculinity transcends such practices, irrespective of one’s racial heritage.
It was not so in the beginning! Real men don’t do that no matter how severed the relationship with their dads. Obama could have used his mother’s name to sound white, but he is a real man. He stuck to his ancestral roots and when he did his first book he called it “Dreams from my Father” despite the fact that the Kenyan man from Kogelo had abandoned them. Authentic Obama, stuck to his story and rose to rule the most powerful nation on earth! There’s something about genealogy and it’s rooted in fatherhood, not motherhood, important as mothers are!
