To politicians: Guard your votes, ours was the voting

On Tuesday next week, we will wake up early and queue to hand over our sovereign power to politicians! I say hand over because article 1 of the constitution states, "All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya..." Therefore, sovereign power is of little use to the people and perhaps that is why we elect fellow Kenyans to rule us.

However, if politicians fear that their political cousins will steal their votes, to protect them themselves.
