Brace yourself for a more lethal, brutal and ruthless President Uhuru Kenyatta in his second term that is according to one of his close confidant and Jubilee party Vice Chairman David Murathe.
Murathe was speaking during an exclusive interview with KTN News on Monday said after August 8, it will not be business as usual over maintenance of law and order, political discipline and the fight against corruption.
"He remains focus on where he wants to take this country I am very sorry for people after Uhuru gets reelected because I believe his agenda will be his legacy issues which will be law, order, discipline, and the fight against corruption," said Murathe.
The former Gatanga MP further revealed what could be Uhuru's government blue print following the script right from where he sacked Cabinet Secretaries who were implicated in corruption.
"If anybody thinks they can walk in the final term of Uhuru with anything that smells of corruption I am very sorry of him, I know this is somebody who will go even after his own friends that you can take to the bank," said Murathe.
However, when Murathe was asked why Uhuru did not start embracing the ruthless and brutal war on corruption before being reelected, the strategist said the Head of State had indeed started the transformational leadership.
"Because when he got in you first have to deal with the establishment, then you put in systems in place. He is the only guy who has sacked six ministers ever not just in Kenya but around Africa on mere allegations more of who have not been convicted he asked them to step aside and did not return them to government. So it is not like he is going to start in his final term his commitment to fight corruption is clear," said Murathe.
Murathe also explained how Uhuru is on a roll in the fight against corruption given the leadership changes in the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC).
"Who is heading EACC? Archbishop somebody we believe is like giving the Pope the chairmanship of EACC because we believe he will not broker any nonsense or be bribed that what I am talking about because in the first term while you settle down and know who is who it takes time," he said.
Finally Murathe said the constitution has weakened the president power in addressing corruption.
"This are somethings we may have to look going forward and ask wanainchi to give him back the power to issue executive orders, you heard him when he was taking about the SGR saying he has never signed any death warrant for anyone but on this one he will pray to God to help him so that he signs anybody who is trying to vandalise the project," said Murathe.
"You will see him in his true colors, right now he was still wooing the chick which is now in the house, the guy will nyorosha this place. He has been in kid gloves but in the next term it will be gloves off bare knuckles and it doesn,t matter whether you are his brother, friend, or who" added Murathe.
