Given the current trajectory, historians will remember President William Ruto's first term as characterised by a monomaniacal effort to win re-election and little in policy achievement.
The one major policy achievement in over the last two and a half years has been the avoidance of default.
However, even that feat is now in jeopardy given that the President has all but abandoned his commitments to fiscal consolidation.
In other sectors, the President has found himself caught in a "failure equilibrium" whereby policy failures have led to political failure and vise versa.
