Mutula Kilonzo Jnr has said that the biggest legacy outgoing President Uhuru Kenyatta will have is peacefully handing over power.
While speaking during an interview on Citizen TV on Tuesday, August 23, Mutula Kikonzo stated that the outgoing President should be reassuring Kenyans of a calm and peaceful transition amidst the current political tensions.
He further added that president Kenyatta should spend his last days in office meeting Kenyans across the country.
“There is a time we had a meeting on BBI in State House and I told the president that his biggest legacy is not BBI or the highways and good roads. His biggest legacy will be the day he hands over power peacefully,” stated Mutula.
“Therefore, if I was Uhuru I would get out of State House and walk around like the way he was on top of his car greeting Kenyans and having nyama choma at Kenyatta Market and it will calm down everybody.” He added.
Moreover, the Makueni Governor-elect advised that the president should be calm and propagate the idea of impartiality in handing over.
He further noted that president Kenyatta should be calm and not angry like the way he has been while issuing press conferences.
Nevertheless, on August 18, President Kenyatta met the Interfaith group at State House.
He assured them that the transition process will be seamless.

Likewise, the outgoing President’s assurance came despite his earlier declaration that he prefers handing over to Azimio’s Raila Odinga, while criticizing Kenya Kwanza’s William Ruto.
“Ninasema anayeweza kutuongoza kwa amani ni Raila Odinga na Martha Karua…Wacha kwanza Mzee atuangalilie hii kazi na labda vijana mtakuja baadaye,” Uhuru said as he commissioned several projects in Makueni and Mombasa counties early August.
