Jubilee’s unfulfilled promises may lead to a protest voting in the August general election

“There is no greater fraud than a promise not kept” Gaelic proverb

Two days to the 2013 elections, I approached a fellow villager, a young man I have known since childhood but became a father experimentally before he knew what fatherhood meant. He has a daughter whom he loved so much to date. At that time, Bungoma County was a Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) zone. I requested him to vote for Cord but he stunned me. Quoting his words “My child has been promised a laptop and free milk next year when she joins class one by Uhuruto. What are you telling me?” Time was to tell.
