Now. Kenyans. This is why I respect Pres.Uhuru Kenyatta. Purely on the basis of his PR skills. A man who started his presidential campaign in the worst public image position possible... So. Read on. See what I have been saying all along? That Uhuru Kenyatta may be one of the worlds greatest political strategists and that he has the best PR rollout available? Please read the below part of article 147 of our constitution: (3) Subject to Article 134, when the President is absent or is temporarily incapacitated, and during any other period that the President decides, the Deputy President shall act as the President. So, it says that by default, WHEN the president is absent, the Deputy President SHALL act as ..... So it is by default, with no further need to Invoke anything that WIlliam Samoei Ruto would have taken presidency and it was not Pres.U.K.s choice to invoke and appoint anything. Further more, he did not need to appoint anyone. The person to whom the presidency passes to is defined by law. Once and every time the president leaves the country, W.S Ruto becomes acting president be default. But Ive gotta give it to Pres. U.K, playing this card of willfully passing down power was brilliant. Just to add, the whole ceremony is necessary to assure the masses and in process, win a few hearts over. But lets not be ignorant, the presidency would have still passed down had he announced it or not. By default - to Ruto - the minute his plane leaves Kenyan territory.
