Uhuru throws last dice in bid to secure legacy

The question has to be asked: Is Uhuru genuine in his fight against corruption? Is his purge political or is it an honest desire to see Kenya change? Many a pundit have postulated that his fight is political shadow boxing. If so then Uhuru is spending a lot of energy punching the air. It does not stand to reason that a sitting president with access to intelligence reports would make huge movements against corruption and stand to gain nothing.

We must therefore carefully study the man and see if he is serious. First thing to consider is his age. Uhuru is 56 today, when he retires he will be 60 years old. This means he will be the youngest president ever to retire in Kenya.
