It is disheartening when politicians who should know better seek to gag information crucial to the public simply because it is not flattering. Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka should back up with evidence his claim that the latest opinion poll released by a research firm is biased.
Mr Musyoka has even proposed that laws be passed to keep pollsters in check. When a politician complains about an independent opinion poll, it could mean the polling was conducted without undue influence from vested political interests.
