Kenyans should peg election campaigns on national issues

IEBC is already preparing for the 2017 General Election as politicians also begin to campaign

NAIROBI: One of the most desolating facts about the ongoing 2017 election campaign re-alignments is that none of the existing or emerging political parties is forming, so far, on the basis of a specific developmental priority issue.

Instead, what we have is the usual like-minded buddies transacting allegiances, buying and selling of real or imagined post-2017 General Election opportunities. From the West to East, the big talk on the 2017 elections is about who is scheming with whom and at what cost.
