Laptops critics should drop hardline stance

In the countdown to 2013 General Election, the flag bearers of the Jubilee alliance Hon Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto made a raft of pledges. If elected into office, the duo promised to walk the talk.

So far, a number of pledges have been rolled out and they include free maternal health care, setting up of One-Shop-Huduma Centres, resettlement of internally displaced persons, allocation of land and issuance of the thousands of title deeds to poor landless Kenyans, the launch of one-million-acres irrigation project and the construction of Standard Gauge Railway.
