The Registrar of Political Parties, Anne Nderitu, has a sense of humour. She says some 14,000 Kenyans will need counselling in just under two weeks.

This lot, she said, have invested emotionally and materially in their quest for about 2,000 available elective posts. So, it's logical that out of the 16,000 aspirants, some 14,000 watakula huu.
