Change of polls date will hand Uhuru extra year

This Saturday, allow me to speculate because there is something I do not understand. I am wondering how Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four Agenda, the most ambitious legacy project since Independence, will be completed in roughly 1,000 days. Between now and the next election, Uhuru has less than 1,500 days left. If you take away the first eight months of the election year, from January to August 2022, he is left with 1,250 days. And that is being generous since all aspects of Kenyan life are generally suspended when we ‘electioneer’. Those first eight months of 2022 will be a non-stop political extravaganza. By now, the Big Four implementation should be happening like clockwork. Every hour and minute should be counted and accounted for. But that is what the President is running out of: Time.

This is where we begin to speculate. If God alone can ‘manufacture’ or ‘create’ time, Presidents can only then ‘expand’ time. Uhuru Kenyatta can add some much-needed months to his term.
