Yes, Kenya deserves better than violent street protests

The National Super Alliance (NASA) has finally decided to move to the Supreme Court to challenge the legitimacy of Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election as President after the deeply polarising August 8 polls.

This was a judicious decision that ends speculation over what political direction that country will take. No doubt the action by NASA and its presidential flag bearer Raila Odinga has helped ease tensions across the country, and especially in major towns where street protests have stifled business in recent days.
