Our political parties should run on firm foundations

I was a small boy when pluralism began in Kenya. My father used to tell me about Ford–Kenya and Ford-Asili parties, after they broke away from the original FORD shortly before the 1992 General Election.

Newspapers were a preserve of a few people in our area. I would wait for my father who used to work in Nairobi to come to our Soysambu home with the Finance newspaper and other old papers.
