First, it should be known that  President Uhuru Kenyatta only persuaded Jubilee MPs not to support some proposed nominees in the list. Neither has the President nor his deputy, William Ruto, faced any legislator from the party to reject anyone.

Being the Head of State and a leader of the largest political party in the country, President Kenyatta, just like any other Kenyan, is at liberty to express his dissatisfaction with individuals eyeing the PSC slots.
