President Uhuru has remained silent on the details of his March 9 truce with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
Similarly, he has remained mum on the heating referendum debate, despite growing pressure from his Jubilee allies to come out clear on the issue.
However, this is most likely a strategy to not soil the legacy he seeks to leave upon his retirement in 2022.
Uhuru is aware that politicians and supporters of both sides of the political divide will have their own take of his stand and is keen to not let the cat out of the bag, at least for now, as the outcome is likely to offend one of the two sides.
By backing the referendum, he will have betrayed a section of Jubilee leaders allied to his deputy William Ruto, who has since taken a position against the push.
This will in turn translate to betrayal, as he will seem to have joined Odinga in battling Ruto out of the 2022 presidential race, as the push seeks to reduce the presidential power, while Ruto is keen on inheriting the seat in its current nature.
This will automatically land him on the opposition's side, confirming claims that he could be planning to withdraw his support for Ruto's ambition for the top seat.
On the other hand, opposing the amendment will not be received well by Odinga who has since claimed that the referendum was one of their agreements before sealing the deal, with the same feeling trickling down to his allies.
This will as well affect the former Prime Minister's supporters, reverting the nation to its initial divided state, resulting to rivalry and hence an economical blow.
The President is, therefore, better off silent and could further facilitate his well being by applying the 'may the best team win' ideology and let the referendum campaigners have their way but not take sides.
