President Uhuru Kenyatta’s swearing-in on Tuesday was won after having meticulously overcome every possible political, electoral and legal challenge.
In hindsight, this was necessary because every opportunity to question the credibility of the polls, the legitimacy of the winner and the undisputed choice of the Kenyan people was resolved through a national validation process in which the people went to the polls twice and the Supreme Court also sat twice in a period of less than three months, as if to clear any previous doubts, and in the process, set the record straight.
