It is already conspicuous  that the appointment of Cabinet secretaries has generated disquiet in the ruling party despite the concerned parties downplaying it. From where I sit, the elephant in the room is hinged on the fact President Kenyatta and his Deputy Ruto peg the appointments on two distinct and divergent portfolios. Uhuru is keen on a legacy considering this is his final term in office and probably seeks to have in place faces that will help him execute his mandate and plan impeccably.

Well, at least that is what he said (on legacy) during his fête. However, I’d say that hypothetically the nomination of the likes of Keriako Tobiko, who one would candidly argue wasn’t the epitome of public office competence as the ODPP makes one ponder whether the President is really keen on a reputable legacy.
