And shouldn't it be that even if the executive carried the day, that win ought to be convincing enough? Unfortunately, the acts of Mr Duale, Ms Tuya and Mr Muturi sullied that symbolism. Mr Muturi, Mr Duale and Ms Tuya are guilty of failure to uphold this: Mr Muturi for being seen to advance the agenda of the Executive and muscling the will of the MPs; Mr Duale and Ms Tuya for blantant cheating. Yet at the heart of it is a dangerous trend: the rise of an all-powerful presidency. The rare show of bipartisanship fighting for Wanjiku in spite of the threats from the Mr Muturi and Mr Duake could be a sign of the turning tide.
