Forget constituencies and MPs, here’s what will fix all our problems

We are accustomed to tossing the word “democracy” with such abandon, we often forget democracy is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. Democracy is supposed to be a facilitating mechanism, the idea being that everyone should have an equal say in how their country is run.

Unfortunately, millions of Kenyans have been continuously denied that right by our unfair voting system. Since independence, Kenyans are used to single member constituency winner takes it all system of election that has now become a tradition. In fact, it is outside our imagination that there is a better and fairer system of election.
