Kithure to Kindiki transfiguration

Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has notably transformed from a soft-spoken academic to a more abrasive and combative politician, a change that observers link to the high-stakes atmosphere that comes with the seat he occupies in government. As presidential historians posited elsewhere, a Vice President, in Kenya’s case, Deputy President, is without choice destined to be a lap dog or an attack dog, or better still, both. And never neither.
