Sick Jubilee crumbling and taking with it young careers

In the spirit of honesty in these columns, I wondered in 2016 about the wisdom of folding several political parties into one Jubilee Party. I thought it was bad for multiparty democracy. I remained fascinated by the thought of a million flowers blossoming in the multiplicity of political parties.

Elgeyo Marakwet Senator, Kipchumba Murkomen, was not happy. I was “meddling in Jubilee affairs,” he said. He took to Twitter. I was told that I belonged elsewhere. I should shut up.
