Talk of Raila Odinga inheriting the late Senate Otieno Kajwang’s seat is misguided. It is misguided for a variety of reasons. First, it flies in the face of basic democratic principles. The voters in Homa Bay would not have a fair chance to elect a leader of their choice.
A leader that would be responsive to the needs of their county. Instead, they will be forced to accept a representative in the Senate preoccupied with national politics, at the expense of local needs of the people that he purports to represent.
