Campus politics is proof that Kenyan politics has no future

A couple of months ago,  the mainstream media headlines were filled with the story of this popular politician who claimed that he had been given a gun with no bullets. So he left the party  and it seems like he went and bought his own rifle (of course with bullets ).According to our political analysts, since he had never used a gun with bullets before, the politician decided to pull the trigger and shot himself-Political suicide!.

Defection from one camp to the other is one of the many issues that tend to arise in periods when we are approaching elections. Betrayal, tribal affiliations, voter bribery, hooliganism and many others usually show up at such times and they all seem to have their roots from campus politics in our various institutions. The campus politicians seem to   always imitate the behavior of politicians at the national level and with that, you can bet that Kenyan politics has no future.
