  It's a shame ,if you are bootlicker in the Kenyan politics you survive, but people like Mama Ngilu and Sambili are hunted down. Kenya needs three parties, that is it.

  For the purpose of stability, sense of responsibility and respect to the ideals of democracy and political party manifestos and allegiance, the fringe parties that almost stand for nothing but to propel the few rich to parliament need to be annexed. if they cant organize as little functions as NDC and have as few members as 200 in respective districts then how do they want to lead?

  After the disbanding the ECK, Ndungu cannot purport to speaking for a nonexistent body on the issue of whether or not the MPs whose parties have not complied with the political parties act will or will not lose their seats by new year. The concerned MPs have themselves to blame if they become casualities of the law, but the law must be implemented to the letter.

  Whether the 16 Mps loose or retain their jobs that will have little impact on Kenyan politics.

  It defeats the purpose of creating laws if these people attempt to delay or craft 'provisions' that favor them. Let's have repeat elections if the parties involved cannot comply.

  Legislators makes the law. So if the political parties that have not adhered to the rules and regulations of the act are flushed then all members of august house belonging to those parties should go home and seek fresh mandate may be they will campaign for their taxation when they come back in the august house. But we won't ignore those thugs who said that by taxation of their salaries they will become poorer than their constituents. So those who live in glass houses should never throw stones.

  Funny! Isn't it? Now that the big parties are behaving like dragons in parliament, how about allowing for independents to run for any office on the land. This will disable the political gangs in the country and there will be no more bootlicking. After all Kenya is democratic and there is no need of locking out anyone who wants to be a leader.
