At the burial ceremony of Mama Hannah Mudavadi in Vihiga last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta told off those criticising his style of leadership, saying he was in full control of his government.

The president’s sentiments came just days after one of his allies, Senate Majority Whip Irungu Kang’ata, had written to him painting a not so rosy picture of the popularity of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in Mt Kenya region.
