ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi has said it will be a tall order for  Jubilee to be re-elected in 2017.

Mr Mudavadi said Jubilee has been a fatal experiment that Kenyans should never be tempted to try again.

He accused the ruling coalition of overseeing an administration that has taken corruption to unprecedented levels in Kenyan history.

In an interview with The Standard, Mudavadi said it was only logical that President Uhuru Kenyatta gathers courage and dissolves the government to give Kenyans an opportunity to use the vote as a whip to clean up the mess.

He said that under the ruling coalition "corruption has become a virtue and a genetic inheritance".

"I agree with the confession in Israel by the president that the positive achievement of his government cannot be defined in the absence of theft, abuse of office, negative rhetoric and disregard to the rule of law," he said.

Mudavadi said the Jubilee government is riddled with corruption and was known for shadow-boxing, name-calling and ethnicity.

"Even the President is more frustrated and fatigued with the rot in his government caused by a system he has put in place," he said.

The former presidential candidate noted that Jubilee inherited a country bubbling with pride and optimism under a brand-new progressive Constitution but had imprinted on it despondency, despair and hopelessness.

He said it was dismaying how every project, like the National Youth Service and Eurobond, is deliberately designed for the embezzlement of public funds.

The ANC leader pointed out that Kenyans have not been told that Jubilee was an implementing agency of the Grand Coalition government since all the projects it claims to have initiated were designed then.

"They should have chosen a few projects from the Grand Coalition and implemented them fully instead of masking all of them as their own creation," said Mudavadi.
