Why it is hard to unravel the mystery of Kenyan politics

One of the most comical things about Kenya’s politics is that some people pretend to understand it. Sometimes I sit and watch political analysts on TV trying to predict what’s next in the endless cloak-and-dagger power games between the Opposition and the ruling coalition.

But, with hindsight, the analysts’ forecasts and predictions almost always end up missing the boat by the river, largely because they predict what they want to see and not what is likely to happen. And it always leaves me in stitches.
