However, the question of nation building, the performance to this date is abysmal; Kenya is a strong a state, but a weak nation- state. In fact, the original sin of Kenya was Uthamakism, which as a chauvinistic ideology, nipped the nation building project in the bud. Consequently, Uhuru’s reaching out to Raila to resurrect the abandoned nation state project was a heroic gesture of putting nation above self and personal power. In pursuit of the nation state project, Uhuru is prepared to forego the parochial “tribesmen” and friends, who cannot see the bigger picture. That is why on the nation building project, which Kenya is fundamental problem, Uhuru is the best President thus far.
