David Wakairu Murathe has been shooting from the hip. It started in 2017 when he warned all and sundry that once Kenyans had put the 2017 polls behind them, there would be a no-nonsense President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Murathe didn’t say there would be a no-holds-barred war on corruption; or that he would personally lead a campaign to block Deputy President William Ruto from occupying the big house on the hill.
