More members of the Jubilee Party and officials in President Uhuru Kenyatta's government are likely to fall victim to his new commitment to delivering on his agenda, political analyst Herman Manyora has said.
Earlier in the week, the president sacked Mwangi Kiunjuri from the Agriculture docket.
Manyora on Saturday predicted that Kenyans could see more of such actions from Uhuru in the coming days.
He stated that Uhuru is styling himself as a no-nonsense leader, who is ready to deal with anyone he thinks is standing on his way or out to prevent him from achieving his goals.
He added that smaller people should also be expected to fall victim in the next days, including the likes of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, who has been questioning his leadership.
"Other collateral damages will be in manner of small people like Moses Kuria na wengine kidogo kidogo hapa. (and other small people)," he said in a recorded analysis posted on YouTube.
The analyst observed that in Kiunjuri's case, the president was trying to demonstrate his readiness to show his tough and firm side, after many years of being silent and being seen as unable to act.
According to Manyora, Uhuru is also trying to demonstrate that he is very keen on protecting his legacy from those who may want to make it hard for him to achieve it.
"The stick fell on Kiunjuri to warn people that I am not who you may be imagining I am, I will not going allow you to mess my legacy and to that extent he had to raise the stick and hit somebody," he noted.
Moses Kuria, formerly a staunch supporter of the president, has since crossed over and is now an ally of Deputy President William Ruto.
