2017 elections should be issue-based

Recent opinion poll by Infotrak revealed that 62 per cent of Kenyans believe the Jubilee administration is leading Kenya in the wrong direction. Corruption was rated as one of the biggest impediments to realisation of a prosperous Kenya. In my opinion, other impediments include tribalism, lack of accountability in public institutions, an unresponsive education system and unemployment.

In a functioning democracy, that poll would disturb and perturb the administration in power. But I know the Jubilee administration is sitting pretty. It has optimism in porous ethnic arrangements.
