Theater of absurd as war in Jubilee goes to the presidency

President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto at a past event.

Although the next presidential election is in 2022, President Uhuru Kenyatta's succession battle has moved from the political rallies to right at heart of the presidency.
 
And as the troops beat their drums, spoiling for political war, the words of Irish poet, William Butler Yeats in his poem, The Second Coming, echo in the corridors of Harambee House in Nairobi, where 'the falcon can no longer hear the falconer' and things are rapidly falling apart because the centre cannot hold.
 
At the core of the succession battle is the allegation of an assassination plot of Deputy President William Ruto, which as Yeats wrote has "unloosed a tide, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence has been drowned."

At the centre of this drama is the communication unit strategist deployed as an expert in Information Technology (IT) whose exploits in 2012 election helped to deliver the presidency to what many skeptics viewed as improbable ticket.
