There is a cloud of fear that has descended on the country. What precipitated this unusual turn of events has its roots in the August 8, 2017 General Election whose presidential results were disputed by the Opposition National Super Alliance which successfully challenged it at the Supreme Court.

Our politics took an ugly turn thereafter, especially after the Opposition refused to take part in the fresh elections on October 26, 2017 crying foul that the process had been rigged in favour of the ruling Jubilee Coalition. It refuses to recognise the legitimacy of President Uhuru Kenyatta whose victory the Supreme Court upheld following a petition filed by civil society groups.
