For most of his political career, President Uhuru Kenyatta has had to make tough decisions; to endorse Musalia Mudavadi for president or to run himself; to turn himself over to the International Criminal Court at the Hague or ignore its summons as some have done; to mend fences with political nemesis Raila Odinga or to turn his back on a pre-election pact with William Ruto. These decisions have, in the past, put him between a rock and a hard place.
