Although some argue that we operate in permanent campaign mode, the current national mood feels like this is Kenya's earliest ever election campaign season. If this was a boxing match, in the blue corner, the incumbents insist it is not time for campaigns, but traverse the country on "development tours" and "empowerment events." Their latest is "development visits" by sundry delegations to State House where "goodies" are doled out as if we have no functioning systems.
It's less "bottom-up" and more "unifying the country taking development to every corner." In unvarnished terms, "broad-based government" means "if you are not with us, you are against us".
