President Uhuru Kenyatta will be sworn in for a second and final term today in an elaborate judicial and military ceremony amid massive security.
The presence of a dozen, possibly more, heads of state and government, among them Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has necessitated a massive security operation involving the closure of many city roads and estimated to cost Sh250 million.
The Judiciary has planned the administration of the presidential oath of office,..
President Kenyatta will be taking the oath in different circumstances from 2013, when his victory was challenged in the Supreme Court, but upheld.
This time round, the same court nullified his August 8 re-election and ordered a fresh election, which was held on October 26, but also challenged. And although he prevailed in court the second time, the opposition, National Super Alliance(NASA), led by Raila Odinga refused to recognise his election.
