Raila Odinga's big task to accommodate Uhuru's CSs, competing interests

Azimio la Umoja One Kenya flagbearer Raila Odinga will be in a crunch should he be sworn in as Kenya’s fifth President.

Raila’s intent to tap into the experience of five incumbent Cabinet Secretaries - who were implored upon not to resign by President Uhuru Kenyatta to steady Raila’s government should he win - has presented a plethora of complexities that will require Solomonic wisdom to resolve.  

The fate of the CSs after the August 9 elections thus now lies with the former premier, and should he ascend to power and dole out the Cabinet slots to the five, it will be interesting to see how he will appease the rest of the country with the remaining 16 slots.
