In a country that loves bureaucratic procedure, the constitution requires the tireless president to chair ceremonies, sign off documents and swearin officials, if anything is to progress.
The ceremony stood in stark contrast to a rushed ceremony closed to the public five years ago to swearin outgoing President Mwai Kibaki, whom political opponents accused of stealing the 2007 vote.
There are now countless Islamic centers, mosques and extremist organizations of all kinds incorporated in the U.S. that officially swear allegiance to shariah in their bylaws in blatant disregard to the law of the land.
