It has been a political season like none for President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The president has found himself caught between the deep waters of the Judiciary and in the soggy mires of the murky politics. A mortifying ruling on the BBI Bill which was followed swiftly by electoral defeats for his wing of the Jubilee Party in Bonchari and Juja Constituencies, and in Rurii Ward in Nyandarua, have left him in a field choked with political thorns and thistles.
