Discrepancies in voter registration worrying

On the evening of July 15, US President Barack Obama said his agenda was two-fold in response to a question by a White House correspondent on his thoughts regarding his visit to Kenya — “to encourage the expansion of democratic space and reduction of corruption inside that country, that incredibly blessed and gifted country.”  

Yet, in answering the above question, he chose to underscore the fact that economic, good governance and political development are linked. I agree with President Obama that however much we focus on laying foundations for a strengthened, entrepreneurial nation, sustainable economic development cannot thrive in a dysfunctional political system.
