President Uhuru Kenyatta is struggling to deal with the thorn in his flesh that is preventing him from making strides towards securing his legacy. 

Ever since he was reelected in August 2017, his ambitious deputy William Samoei Ruto has been lurking in the shadows, planning and plotting his march to occupy State House.

The president is walking a tightrope in trying to appease his deputy, man who almost single-handedly delivered the presidency but has now gone all out to campaign for the position he helped win.
