Mr President, handshake is no legacy, spare us anger and deliver

The president seems more obsessed with the handshake and stopping his deputy from succeeding him than fulfilling his campaign promises.

Once upon a time, President Uhuru Kenyatta sold us a fanciful idea called the ‘Big Four’ action plan. As development plans go, it was pretty ambitious and very welcome.

The plan envisioned increasing the contribution of manufacturing to the economy from 9.2 per cent to 20 per cent, achieving 100 per cent food security, achieving 100 per cent universal health coverage, and building 500,000 new and affordable homes all by 2022.
