Uhuru can take a strong stance as Nyerere did in Tanzania, banning discussions about ethnicity, banning tribal associations, criminalizing hate speech. He can tell everyone to vote for him only based on his achievements and not his ethnicity. He can come out and publicly repudiate tyranny of numbers. He can use every opportunity to tell Kenyans to stop speaking ill of one another based on tribe. he can take very opportunity to repudiate job discrimination, hate speech and other issues dividing Kenyans. he can create a culture like the one in tanzania where people hate tribalism. He likely will not because he thinks tyranny of numbers is the only way he can win in 2017 and winning in 2017 is of more importance to him and many of his supporters than actually ending the cancer of tribalism that is slowly ravaging Kenya.
How would he do that? Like, either claim he is not who he is? Deny that where he comes from is quite populous and that makes the community pretty give? Ask them not to come out in large numbers to vote? Or to come out in large numbers to vote for who they feel is the best candidate and hope that they wont think he is?
I agree the other points are doable. He has can try the other options, the highlighted one would be an uphill task....
