Sagana State Lodge Meeting: Why Uhuru Kenyatta is a Restless President

President Uhuru Kenyatta is a worried man. This is due to increased backlash from his region. With less than two years remaining for Uhuru presidency, he is battling to stamp authority in his Central backyard. Selling Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in Central Kenya will be his major concern.
The increased discontent among Mt Kenya residents is due to negligence. They believe that Uhuru has left them in the cold. They believe the President was ‘stolen’ away from them by ODM leader Raila Odinga. Uhuru’s fallout with deputy president William Ruto has seen his influence drastically reduced.
The president has in the recent past issued salvo, arguing that he is still in charge. It all started during the burial of the mother of ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi. During the burial event, the enraged Uhuru proposed that it was the highest time for a person from another community, apart from the ones that had ruled, to be the country’s next president.
Uhuru’s counter-attack was directed to those fanning ‘hustler – dynasty’ narrative. Since then, Uhuru has made great forays in Central region. Ahead of the Sagana State Lodge meeting, the president addressed Mt Kenya, in radio that was broadcasted by most Mt Kenya vernacular radio stations, an event that has since been dubbed as ‘Facing Mt Kenya.’
Unlike his predecessor Mwai Kibaki, Uhuru wants to determine the political bearing of Central Kenya as his succession battle gains momentum. Uhuru meets his people a few days after Raila started making serious political maneuvers in Central Kenya.

Why Matiang'i comeback threatens Ruto's re-election bid

  Former Interior cabinet secretary Dr. Fred Matiang'i is a great rival to President William Ruto in his 2027 re-election contest. Matiang'i is set to give Ruto a run for his money, owing to his track record as a cabinet secretary in the previous regime.  Former President Uhuru Kenyatta trusted Matiang'i more than any other cabinet secretary due to his workaholic nature and might be forced to finance his presidential quest.  The former Interior CS is reportedly eyeing the presidential seat on a Jubilee ticket, as alluded by the party's secretary general Jeremiah Kioni.
