President Uhuru Kenyatta is elaborately following the script of former president Mwai Kibaki of rolling out mega projects in his backyard heading into his last year at the helm.

Just like Uhuru, Kibaki dedicated his first years in the presidency for national causes and development, almost creating the impression that he was neglecting his backyard.
