Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Our country Kenya is consciously walking into a dark pit. With a ticking time bomb, a dishonest political class and stubborn electoral commissioners everything seems out of control. Politicians dig in on stated positions, belligerent electoral commissioners stand their ground, discredited mediators struggle to reclaim their pride of place and ordinary Kenyans watch from the corners.
This is the look of a confused state. The fact of the matter is that time is not on our side. Even assuming there was good faith among our political class and the political will to solve this, we may not be able to substantively sort out the mess we have thrown ourselves into in good time ahead of the election. It is thus my call to the politicians to stop being dishonest.
