Link between weak political parties and state dysfunction

As the ongoing party primaries heat up, there is no doubt a constant denominator is chaos, last-minute preparations and organised confusion. While Jubilee has invested heavily in portraying the opposition as chaotic, it hasn’t been spared the same and certainly in areas where the party leadership is split in terms of who should actually carry the party ticket, there is bound to be violence and anarchy.

Could it be that this widespread dysfunction of political parties is to blame for the current dysfunction of wider state institutions and the laissez faire attitude of some state officers? Two possible positions can be advanced towards this inquiry that most definitely requires wider public discourse especially during this electoral cycle.
