One simple reason for this is that it is easier to run a campaign than a government. Those who were thumping their chests in May today plead to be given time to deliver as they grapple with multiple governance challenges. Nine months since they came to power, Uhuru and Ruto do not seem to have been granted such a grace period. We have seen multiple events of (i) industrial unrest among entire groups of public servants such as teachers and medical professionals. (ii) Our main airport’s arrivals terminal burn down (iii) Senator Mutula Kilonzo die in circumstances that still remain unclear. (iv) The terrorist attack on Westgate Mall in September was so incompetently handled that it left the reputation of the KDF badly dented and government officials looking confused and inept. (v) An apparent collapse in security, combined with the messiness of the transition into devolution has seen deadly violence break out in Tana River, Mandera, Moyale, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Mombasa and other counties. (vi) The police seemed unable to unravel the mystery of a bloodied and recently decapitated human head dumped outside the National Police Service Commission offices with a message to the Chair of that Commission on it. (vii) The current police vetting exercise has raised more questions than answers.
