President Uhuru Kenyatta is keen on a second term. He hasn't said so directly, but his confidants are shouting from the rooftops. It is perfectly his constitutional right. In any case no Kenyan leader has served one term.
So according to the Jubilee Alliance script, Mr Kenyatta should transit smoothly into his second and final term (barring any constitutional changes targeting Presidential term limit) in 2017. If it goes according to the Jubilee plan and barring any bad news from The Hague, William Ruto, his deputy, will be demanding his 10 years, meaning he would too be fighting to rule us till 2032! I wouldn't have taken this plot seriously were it not that our two leaders seem to seriously believe in it so much such that Mr Ruto the other day lamented that Raila Odinga was out to spoil for him in 2022.
