Our democracy is yet to come of age at least if going by the recent party nominations is anything to go by.
Nominations for major parties in the country like Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), the Amani National Congress (ANC), Jubilee and Ford Kenya were laced with violence, allegations of bribery, rigging and hawking of nomination certificates to the highest bidder.
The shambolic exercise has destroyed careers and left aspirants who didn’t make past the primaries footing huge pending bills as well as servicing bank loans.
