Of elections and Kenya’s tribal foolishness

Mt Kenya has a spokesperson to lead negotiations with presidential hopefuls on a share of the government.

And, did we hear it right that the successful presidential candidate in the negotiation will have to part with 40 per cent of the various appointments including seven Cabinet secretary slots to Mt Kenya?

And, isn’t it true that the Rift is peacefully quiet because its voters see a chance of winning the presidency? Which means they are in charge of at least 60 per cent of all appointments and privileges if it wins the presidency. Similarly, if Nyanza wins the presidency, it starts off with at least 60 per cent of the sharable national cake. Remember the cake is not infinitely expandable.
