Kenya's fourth president is now the talk of town. His public outbursts has put him on the spot for all bad reasons.
President Uhuru Kenyatta's incoherent language towards his juniors proves that citizens expect good deeds from their leaders.
Uhuru first spoke 'dirty' when he landed in the Country from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2014. He was facing crime against humanity charges alongside his deputy, William Ruto.
When he arrived after being acquitted, he accused civil societies of being used to frame him up, and claimed they were 'licking buttocks of some people so as to receive support'.
Uhuru's most recent altercation was witnessed in Lodwar, Turkana County, when he slammed governor Joseph Nanok, after he accused his administration of taking advantage of Turkana locals.
Nanok had claimed Jubilee administration planned to benefit from oil extractions in the region, leaving residents poorer.
Uhuru did not take him lightly, whereby, he rebuked and called him names.
This caused public outrage, with Kenyans wondering how a president could engage himself in a public spat, instead of correcting Nanok, politely, as a leader.
Another incident is where he allegedly called for blockage of Mombasa governor Ali Hassan Joho, from attending the relaunching of the Mtongwe ferry, March 13.
The two have been in a political rivalry, with Joho dismissing Uhuru's projects in Coast.
Joho was put under office arrest, to possibly prevent him from attacking Uhuru's projects in the region.
Commenting on the matter, Uhuru warned the ODM deputy party leader that he should stop joking around with Jubilee, or he would be dealt with accordingly.
He also used incoherent language, saying Joho should stop following him around because he was not his (Joho) wife.
This, according to critics, has made Uhuru lower himself. Kakamega senator Bonny Khalwale, while speaking during an interview on a local television station, said Uhuru was losing Kenyans' trust.
Khalwale said a president should always be a role model to his people, and Uhuru had failed to be one.
