During the inauguration of Dr. Joyce Laboso as Governor of Bomet two days ago, President Uhuru Kenyatta tried to create the impression that he won the presidency by dint of the fact that his Jubilee Party has a majority of Governors, Senators and Members of the National Assembly.
This characterization of the results of the contest is disturbing but hardly surprising. Mr. Kenyatta and his Jubilee team are suffering from acute legitimacy deficit and are clutching at every straw to acquire it.
