Since independence, the politics in Kenya have been pegged
on ethnicity. The mobilization of voters especially is ethnically based. This
makes it challenging to fulfill the vision of the founders of the nation who
had one of their agenda as bringing to an end ethnicity, which was a divide and
rule strategy used by the colonialists.
The wrangles indeed witnessed in the country after every
election is due to the ethnic-based politics played by our leaders so that
whenever the election results, especially the presidential results, are
unsatisfying. Instead of mentioning the party involved, the opponents tend to
blame the community, which has the majority within that party. Though the
political class may not be much affected, it is witnessed in the actions of
hatred portrayed by their supporters.
