When President Uhuru Kenyatta took an oath of office for his second and final term in 2017, he assured the people of the Republic of Kenya that he will fight to end corruption, bring equality in resource allocation and employment for the young people.
On March 9th 2018, when opposition leader Raila Odinga embraced and accepted President Uhuru Kenyatta as the head of state paved way for a smooth environment for Kenyatta to advance his unity call of all Kenyans.
President Kenyatta's legacy dream can, however, be crippled by the recent simmers between Kenya and Somalia over the Kenyan Government claim that Somalia had auctioned the oil blocks which are being contested in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a claim the Federal Republic of Somalia has strongly denied.
The territorial row between Kenya and her neighbourhood has been a talking point since Kenyatta took office in 2013.
As the Head of State with Migingo island, the dispute between Kenya and Uganda escalating leaving innocent Kenyans along the island suffer victimization of the Ugandan soldiers and police presence falling intimidation and harassment.
As Uhuru puts emphasis on unifying Kenyans and zero rating corruption, Kenyatta's vision of a changed Kenya may be futile if the territorial disputes continue without an amicable solution.
The head of state should focus on leaving a secure and peaceful nation where people from all walks of life enjoy the freedom of association, expression, movement without the fear of their livelihood.
