As Ikenna notes, "how dare she? The Presidential jet is cool!" Oh, we hope you're catching the sarcasm</p><p>With Kenya's Election coming up and today's first ever <a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2013/02/2013211173320423496.html" target="_blank">presidential debate</a>, Ikenna reminds us that there are still a number of questions surrounding Kenyatta and Ruto, particularly as they face ICC charges.
