OPINION: IEBC must make transparency a practice, not a promise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2027 General Election is less than a year away. Consciously engaged Kenyans are therefore entitled to expect a clear roadmap from the country’s electoral institutions on how they intend to deliver a free, fair, transparent, credible and verifiable election. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has a constitutional mandate to manage elections. Yet, as preparations for 2027 gather pace, the commission is already facing criticism from different stakeholders. Political form
OPINION: The Five Pillars That Fell and the State Ruto Is Building in Their Place (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The five pillars that carried President William Ruto to State House in 2022 appear, at least on the surface, to have collapsed. The narrative of a persecuted outsider fighting a dynastic elite uncomfortable with the rise of the son of a peasant. The Church. The Hustler movement. Mt Kenya. And the international community.

OPINION: Kenya’s Health Debate Has Finally Moved From Generalities to Accountability (opens the original)

Today, the Wantam brigade is shouting that Vision 2060 is yet another political campaign buzzword taking us nowhere, while the Tutam brigade is trying to articulate both the journey to Singapore and Vision 2060 as a common citizen agenda, di
OPINION: Why 2027 Will Not Be Won by Threats, Strongholds or Political Mythology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once or twice shared a television talk show with Hon. Kaguchia, either in the run-up to the 2022 General Election or shortly thereafter. I sympathise with the political storm that has since engulfed him following his shocking remarks that appeared to threaten the very people he seeks to represent. Back then, however, his unwavering support for President William Ruto was unmistakable. Even when facts and data seemed to weaken his arguments, his conviction carried him through. Kaguchia belonged
