Despite his likability among the public characterised by dining with the poor and even mingling with commoners, President Uhuru Kenyatta is however not a stranger to controversy.
Upon nullification of his August 8th 2017 victory, the president went ballistic on Supreme Court judges with its President David Maraga being his chief target.
In one of the rallies at Burma market in Nairobi, Uhuru openly insisted of 'fixing' the judiciary moments after October repeat polls.
And the remarks elicited sharp reactions from among members of the public with Nyamira County youths taking issue with the president's actions.
At Keroka, angry youths allied to opposition outfit purchased a coffin, wrapped it with Uhuru's photo before burying it in protest of what they called 'unwarranted witch-hunt' against Maraga.
The September's protests which lasted for several hours, precipitated spirited police crackdown that saw several youth leaders arrested and detained in various police stations.
Later, the president would tour the region in campaigns and defended his attitude towards the judiciary.
During the October 2017 polls, Uhuru emerged winner in the county after scoring 76,000 votes despite boycott by his main challenger Raila Odinga.
