The leadership of Azimio announced that they will hold a parallel even to mark Jamhuri Day and protest the capture of important institutions by State House. From the inexplicable dropping of cases against well-connected individuals to forgiveness of alleged tax cheats, Kenyans have a lot of questions in need of answers.

Azimio is certainly within its rights to highlight the Government's failings. However, it is also important for the outfit to realise that our current governance architecture provides them with opportunities to be more than just an oppositionist cabal shouting from the fences. They have supermajorities in several counties in which they could showcase their governance agenda.
