Is this the only way to court publicity in Kenyan politics?

Being the talk of town in the political arena is not an easy feat. Even after meeting the threshold for the entry into national politics (a university degree), remaining relevant in the game is somewhat of a code to crack. As is cliché, to make it in the murky world of politics, you have to tread on a few toes. Rather, it is not for the faint hearted.

 There are no lasting friends or enemies in politics. One time you are good with person X but come the next term they are your number one public enemy. As such, you learn not to be hard on your enemies and be too nice on your friends either. In fact, the 48 laws of power have it that one ought not put too much trust on friends but instead learn how to use enemies as well. Further, there is a common narrative among the electorate that when their preferred candidate takes to office, they immediately relocate to the city until the next general election. This is very much the case with most politicians which is their great undoing. So why not turn this narrative around and be a "people's person".
