On Friday night, last week Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the president-elect by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati after securing more than 8 million votes against his closest rival, NASA's flag bearer Raila Odinga.

According to political commentator Mr Elijah Ambasa, Uhuru has two things he really needs to work on if he is keen to leave a great legacy after his second and last 5-year term in office.

Ambasa said the issue of inclusivity should be at the top of Uhuru's agenda if he is keen to leave behind a colorful memory in the minds of Kenyans.

"If there is anything Uhuru should do to safeguard his legacy, it is to be different from his first term in office in addressing the issue of inclusivity. The President should give priority to bringing Kenyans together and fostering the principle of inclusivity, which is a requirement under Article 10(2) of the Constitution of Kenya," said Ambasa.

"Kenyans should also see the face of the Cabinet as representing them. Inclusivity should address appointments in all sectors and levels of government," he added.Second Ambasa talked on the need of fighting insecurity and ensuring Kenyans live in harmony with one another without any fear of being marginalised or seen as the 'other' tribe.

"His legacy will be incomplete without addressing the upsurge of insecurity in Kenya and confronting the fears that Kenyan communities have around discrimination and exclusion," he said.

Ambasa also urged Uhuru to deal with the runaway corruption that was witnessed in his first term.

"Kenyans wants to see increased conviction rates, not statistics about how many cases are under investigation or cases dropped for lack of evidence," he said.Finally, to secure a great legacy, Ambasa advised the Head of State to consider working on the cost of essential commodities.

"The cost of living in Kenya should live up to our aspirations in the Constitution and anything short of that will be defined as a failure on the part of the government of the day," said Ambasa.
