Formation of JAP short-sighted and could hurt Uhuru’s administration

I don’t know who came up with the idea of the Jubilee Alliance Party. Nor do I know why anyone would dream up “JAP.” Methinks TNA honcho Uhuru Kenyatta and URP boss William Ruto should lasso the aides who came up with that “smart” idea. My crystal ball tells me JAP will never catch fire. It’s nonsense on stilts — it will take two steps and then collapse into a heap.

The old saying should have been instructive here — don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. That is the first rule of politics. That’s because you may just break it while fixing it. In JAP’s case — and you can take this to the bank — new is bad. It’s a recipe for disaster.
