After an eventful year characterised by a fight for the soul of Jubilee Party, President Uhuru Kenyatta enters the twilight of his presidency with a full in-tray on his desk.
Forget his legacy wishes. That will entirely be dependent on how well he is able to manage the immediate tasks at hand, like stabilise the economy, retain his grip on power and cultivate the respect of a diverse and restless group of potential successors ready to mercilessly tear into each other.
Senate Majority Chief Whip Irungu Kang’ata is of the opinion that Uhuru’s focus will remain on delivering his many projects, among them water and roads. “He wants Kenyans to achieve political reforms, but I think his focus remains on legacy and development and not politics,” said Kang’ata.
