Fix the broken one man, one vote system

Kenyans believe that political competition decides “who gets what, when, how”. The negotiation of how and by whom these resources are distributed has used violence in the past, and it will again, if we do not change the equation.

The power of the presidency to change the equation of how government resources are divided and used has led to the urgent demand for a more inclusive executive. This is where the cries for a PM are coming from. The monies to the counties, which are divided through a formula by the Commission of Revenue Allocation, are only a portion of the national budget, meaning that the presidency can determine a lot of the who gets what, when, how.
