It's mostly the so-called middle-class Nairobians who are hyperventilating at the thought that they may have to defer to Sonko's gubernatorial authority. Why not let Prince Uhuru sit atop his throne in the guise of a ceremonial president, and then install Courtier Raila as the premier? The prince would then be left to his own devices while the premier got on with the business of governance. We cannot run away from the fact that Kenyans remain deeply divided along tribal lines and the quickest way to bring the people together is to institute a government of national unity. I would much rather a federation of communities, each of whom are fairly represented, than a two-tribe-take-all system of governance.
