Forget sideshows, real issues should be the basis of politics in the New Year

Politics will be a dominant feature in Kenyans’ life in 2016. With 2017 elections just nearer, anybody who understands the character of Kenya’s politics would not expect less. The coalitions will also be taking shape and many will be positioning themselves to the apex of power and resources especially at the national level.

The future of counties will increasingly become important. Forget the noise and sideshows of reducing counties – that won’t happen. If you understand the dynamics of Kenyan politics and the rough history of this country you would know daring mess up or even say rationally think of reducing counties, how futile an exercise it would be.
