With 18 months to his retirement next year, President Uhuru Kenyatta appears in a rush to have government programmes completed to secure his legacy.

Last week, the president met his top administration officials in State House, Nairobi, and directed them to speed up the implementation of his legacy projects across the country ahead of the 2022 elections.
