President Uhuru Kenyatta's focus on his legacy agenda has been derailed by the ongoing intrigues linked to the 2022 presidential polls.
At the center of these intrigues is Deputy President William Ruto, who has been linked to the newly formed Jubilee Asili party.
The party's formation is seen as a move by Ruto to distance himself from the governing Jubilee Party and President Kenyatta.
However, the President has been quick to capitalize on the situation, portraying Ruto's corner as the enemy within who is working against his agenda.
But the President's actions have also had a significant impact on the economy, which was already struggling before the COVID-19 crisis struck.
The President's handling of the crisis has been widely criticized, and the effects of his containment measures will still be felt long after he leaves office.
As the 2022 General Election approaches, the differences between Kenya and Tanzania will be a major factor in the polls.
The Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) has also become a major talking point, with the DP being portrayed as corrupt and Mr. Odinga being hero-worshipped.
Despite the President's efforts to push his legacy agenda, including the Big Four initiatives, time is running out, and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to achieve his goals before he leaves office.
