Let us not lose this chance to restore our nationhood

The next 100 days are critical to this nation. This is the period remaining to the next General Election, which will be held on March 4 next year. It is the period that will define our nationhood and decide the future of our great nation. The forthcoming election will be unique in many ways. For instance, it will be the first election to be held under our new Constitution that was promulgated in August 2010.

Besides, the election is expected to be one of the most hotly contested since Kenya attained independence in 1963. The number of seats that are up for grabs is the highest ever. That politicians are busy as bees touring various parts of the country to popularise themselves and their parties clearly shows that campaigns for the elections have started.
