When President Uhuru Kenyatta made a series of appointments of Jubilee-allied political bigwigs from the Coas to public and diplomatic positions soon after getting into office, he was fulfilling a campaign promise and rewarding loyalists.
He hoped, as anyone would have, to popularise himself and the ruling coalition politically in a region that overwhelmingly voted for CORD in the 2013 General Election. Apparently, the move is returning the exact opposite result.
