Opposition is a crucial part of the government

For the last 30 years, Kenya has witnessed a transformation that has created mistrust among communities promoted by the government through regressive programmes. The arming of home guards in the Rift Valley in the 1980s and 1990s; licensing of dubious breweries targeting some regions; promoting ethnic tensions during and post-2005 referendum; lack of clear land policies; systematic socio-economic and political exclusion of some communities; permitting formation and registration of religious and non-governmental organisations, funded by donors who promote extremism, division, movements against culture, confusion and unbelief in God among the people.
