I always stated, Uhuru is not the smartest person in town. I have been proved right with time.
I still remember his statements after the Mpeketoni attacks in 2014. Uhuru's statements were pointing fingers at the political opposition in Kenya and all indications pointed fingers at Al Shabaab. Then I knew the man is not smart. A leader does not jump to conclusions even when driven by his surrounding cheerleaders. Uhuru wanted to make out of the whole issue an attack on the Kikuyu instead of seeing it as an attack on Kenya.
Back to KDF. This is Uhuru's biggest political and social blunder. Soldiers once out of the barracks never want to go back. See countries like Sudan, Myammar and Egypt. That is the reason why Kenya cannot pull out of Somalia. Our disciplined forces are making a killing in Somalia. Top officers have become millionaires. Even during Moi's error soldiers never played any role in economic activities.
