By RASNA WARAHMore by this AuthorThe past two weeks have been a public relations disaster for President Uhuru Kenyatta. One of the most scathing indictments came from the Washington Post, whose editorial board accused the President of “leading the country back towards the autocracy it thought it had left behind”. The Post also blamed the President for raising tensions in the country by “shutting down the media, ignoring court orders and charging peaceful opponents with treason”. This dark period witnessed unprecedented levels of repression across the country and the mass exodus of some of our leading intellectuals. If he wants to leave behind a legacy that he and every Kenyan will be proud of, he must resist the temptation to follow in Moi’s footsteps.
