President-elect must unite us without killing opposition

Kenya’s second republic is now fully constituted. We have a devolved system of government, an independent Judiciary, an independent bicameral Parliament and a President with limited powers. The two decade-long reforms may not have yielded exactly what our many valiant reformists envisioned, but we must agree we have come a long way.

Moving forward, Kenyans must remain vigilant to ensure consolidation of these gains and not be quick to fall into a state of buyer’s remorse. A perfect outcome is often the enemy of a good outcome.
