We still have a chance to clean up our flawed electoral system

As we mourn Senator Gerald Otieno Kajwang’ we shall always remember his rallying call in the struggle for the Second Liberation: bado mapambano, or a Luta Continua.

Those who have never known what the political trenches look or feel like may view Kajwang’s enthusiasm— and the vigour with which he called the youth not to relax or give up — as nothing more than theatre or mere amusement. But for those of us who are in the struggle and have been in it for the long haul, Kajwang’s voice lives, and it will not be silenced by trappings of power by those who win easy victories through trickery, corruption and manipulation of state organs such as the IEBC.
