Push the government until it delivers or falters, Mr Kalonzo

Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua should be menacing, irritating, disturbing, hissing, smoking out jokers in government, crisis-crossing the country holding informal and formal meetings with Kenyans, setting public agenda. In brief, they should be keeping the government, not just in check but also trapping it into the political wrestling ring. The duo should push the government to, as they would say in some sports, "make forced errors".

Kalonzo and Karua need to stick with each other. Their political career is only rising - at least looking at how the 2027 election realignments are shaping barely four months after the contested presidential election outcome. What a strange obsession with campaigns in this country!
