Before the 2017 General Election, David Murathe, one-time Jubilee Party honcho, went on national television and like an oracle, predicted that President Uhuru Kenyatta would be a different man in his second and final term.
Mr Murathe, believed to be close to the president, said his boss would pull no punches as he cements a legacy that was threatening to slip out of his grip. His observations have come to pass, and in Uhuru’s second term, cracks that had been peppered over during his formative years and friendships of convenience that had to be tolerated have no place in his daily diary.
