Matiang’i Takes Action at NTSA Over New Logbook Scam; Showdown in Parliament Over Contested Political Parties Law & Residents Torch Car Which Killed Police Officer

Good morning,

Contrary to what his predecessor Mwai Kibaki did, President Uhuru Kenyatta is seemingly determined to have a big say in his succession and his choice is now loud and clear that it is his former nemesis, Raila Odinga.

For a man who had promised his deputy William Ruto that he would pass on the baton to him after his tenure ends, his drastic turnaround of support has ruffled feathers in the DP’s camp and it is expected to only get worse from here.

This comes after President Uhuru’s camp revealed a radical plan he has put in place to dilute Ruto’s influence in the Mt Kenya region come next year.

The far-reaching move is set to be Uhuru’s plan to pave way for Odinga with Interior PS Karanja Kibicho stating that more state officials will embark on sensitization programmes in the region geared at guiding locals on the right people to vote in during the upcoming elections.

However, the DP’s camp believes that deploying the state officials to counter Ruto’s bottom-up economic model, which is gaining ground in the region, is not a big deal for them and will not have an impact on the Hustler Movement in Mt Kenya.

Do you think President Uhuru should have an influence in his succession? And do you believe this radical plan by the Head of State will be effective in depopularising Ruto in the Mt Kenya region?

Meanwhile, here are the stories making headlines today:
