[PHOTO/nairobiwire.com]It will not be business as usual for non-performing cabinet ministers and other senior government officials in President Uhuru Kenyatta's second term.Kenyatta is expected to assemble a government that better represents the face of Kenya, a close Uhuru confidant has told the Star."You can expect the President will carry a big broom that will sweep away those who haven't performed as he seeks greater efficiency in the management of government affairs," the source told the Star on Monday.He adds: "Where he feels he needs more power he will not hesitate to ask Parliament for it so that he has no excuse for not delivering to Kenyans."Free of the pressure to win reelection votes, the paper adds, Kenyatta is expected to be bolder and more decisive.Those close to him say the President will concentrate on his legacy in the next three years before succession politics kicks in — and it's time for more compromises to see Deputy President William Ruto becomes President in 2022.After a divisive election, the President is expected to prioritise nation cohesion, fight corruption with a greater zeal and focus on heath and infrastructure, his legacy projects.Uhuru's first term was plagued by corruption scandals that overshadowed some achievements and impeded progress.He blamed the anti-graft agency, the DPP, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation and the Judiciary.
