President Uhuru Kenyatta appears to be very cautious regarding the ongoing verbal exchange between his deputy William Ruto and opposition chief Raila Odinga.
Consequently, he has been silent as the two attempt to outdo each other over the Arror and Kimwarer dams scandals, despite the fact that it touches on the Jubilee administration.
However, Uhuru could be having good reasons to keep off the debate and must have realised that the fight is political and doesn't involve him considering that he is approaching his retirement.
This appears like a war with an eye on the 2022 presidential race and being on his second and last term, the most Uhuru can do is to watch from the touchlines as the two leaders tear into each other.
The president is also very keen not to further complicate things, at a time when the nation is at loss on who he really supports between the two, now that both are his allies.
If he backs Ruto, the move will cause suspicion in Raila's camp now that Raila's supporters are anticipating his support should the ODM leader vie in 2022, thanks to their March 9, 2018 truce.
On the other hand, throwing his support behind Raila will worsen the situation now that he is already having problems explaining the basis of his union with Raila.
Uhuru might have also decided to let the matter be handled by the proper institutions, well aware that being the head of government, his entry would sabotage the ongoing probe.
Also, as the president, he will have relegated himself by joining the shouting battle as he should be the one maintaining order and giving direction.
