Recent public outbursts, personal attacks and raw anger have come to characterise President Uhuru Kenyatta’s style. Speaking in Kiswahili, the President was responding to Nanok’s public complaints the state-county revenue-sharing formula for billions from oil is unfair. A day before the Turkana spat, Uhuru pledged to “sort doctors out” if negotiations between striking medics and religious leaders collapsed. On November 4 last year, at the Jubilee National Governing Council, Uhuru called Raila “backward and petty ... a witch doctor”. Speaking in Nyeri on December 1, Uhuru switched to Kikuyu and called Raila “muguruki” — mad man.
