In honour of the late Moi, let the BBI and any other future initiatives meant to push the national agenda be all-inclusive

The document has weighty recommendations on the structure of government, devolution, inclusivity, representation and the fight against corruption.

Being a product of the handshake between two largest political formations, the BBI is the surest avenue to bring law change.

Jubilee’s delivery of its agenda will depend on support from institutions and citizens

Numbers don’t lie and by all standards this will be a clear and undisputed mandate for Uhuru Kenyatta from the Kenyan People.

The curtains look like they are finally falling on Raila Amolo Odinga’s political career. By boycotting the elections, he is simply saying he has thrown in the towel

Kenyans are hard-working people who rise up early every morning to open their businesses so that they may be able to feed their families and educate their children.

Whatever magic he used to hold over millions of his supporters has waned, and there is no one to blame except himself.

When President Uhuru Kenyatta criticised the Judiciary for interfering with arrangements for the August 8 General Election by revoking the ballot printing tender, many were quick to criticise him even though the law allows anyone to criticise a judgement.

The cases were dropped because of a lack of evidence, in other words, there was no proof indicating any involvement in the crimes they were accused of.

The President’s order for withdrawal of Kenyan soldiers from United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNIMISS) has elicited criticisms driven mainly by ignorance.

Even mature and well-developed democracies like the US come under severe strain when faced with an election in which so much is at stake. We saw that in the just concluded polls where Donald Trump triumphed over Hillary Clinton.

I have been thinking deeply about integrity and ethics these days. With all the allegations of corruption and other manifestations of social ills swirling ominously about,

As a leader of no mean repute, Raila Amolo Odinga should exercise wisdom and caution when expressing himself on national matters.

Doomsayers have predicted that Jubilee Party will implode during nominations for the party’s ticket. I want to categorically state here and now that, that will never happen. The new party is founded on a firm foundation of sound ideals and underpinned by democratic principles.

Our mission resonated with Kenyans and ODM then became a national mass movement. Our efforts at bringing Kenyans together under one umbrella was gradually paying dividends and prospects of ending negative ethnicity looked more promising than ever.

MPs have been fighting to delete a section that outlaws party hopping in a report by the joint Parliamentary Select Committee on electoral reforms. This is quite unfortunate. The arguments put forth by the legislators sound convincing only if you fail to take into account compelling reasons why these last-minute defections are an impediment to democracy.

It was with a sigh of relief that we have finally unlocked the stalemate over the constitution of the electoral commission.

Economists are unanimous that infrastructure is one of the pillars that underpin a country’s growth. Indeed, the state of transport systems is one of the key factors investors take into consideration before putting their money in a country.

Since promulgation of the Constitution in 2010, the National Assembly has spared no effort to ensure Bills crucial to the implementation of the supreme law are passed on time.

Kenya has literally been at the centre of the world in the last two years. We have been fortunate to host important international conferences and played host to presidents and top leaders of various countries.

Democracy has been aptly described as majority having their way and minority having their say. So what’s this talk about tyranny of numbers? Let’s put it into perspective.

The importance of peace need not be over-emphasised at this point in time bearing in mind that the ugly scars of the 2007/08 post-election violence are still fresh in our bodies and souls.

CORD’s strategy to destabilize President Uhuru Kenyatta’s government can be seen in every maneuver they have made in the last couple of months

Does CORD really want the best for this country? It’s hard to believe so given their penchant for violence, looting and lawlessness. The macabre scenes witnessed last Monday are scarcely the hallmarks of a political party looking to take over the reins of power.

There is a reason the word ‘independent’ is an integral part of IEBC’s name. It means this institution is insulated from the interference from the whims of political players.

Three years ago, the Jubilee administration was elected into office with a promise to transform this country. Our word has been our bond.

CORD has itself to blame for the grave mistakes that saw its Okoa Kenya initiative badly bungled.

The by-elections in Malindi and Kericho, which captured the attention of the nation, have been concluded.

This is the fourth year since Kenyans went to the ballot and picked a new set of leaders for counties, ushering in a new era in the country’s administration in the spirit of devolution.

While we mourn our brave soldiers who have paid the ultimate price for the sake of our peace and safety, we must step up our resolve to ensure terrorism is exterminated in our midst.

The season of outlandish claims is here. The latest outburst by the Opposition that the government plans to rig the polls falls in this category.

Spirited attempts have been made to disparage the government even when it is doing its best to improve the lives of Kenyans.

End of year is usually an opportune moment for self-evaluation. For Jubilee government and the country at large this has been the year of both remarkable achievements and daunting challenges.

Few would gainsay the fact that strong political parties are essential for a vibrant and true democracy. Our democracy will only mature if we kick out tribal-based affiliations and move to political parties grounded on ideological foundation.

There is no denying that corruption is currently one of the biggest threats facing our nation.

The weeks leading to President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Cabinet reshuffle will easily be remembered as the noisiest in Kenya’s history of Opposition politics.

Every now and then, a cloud of opinion forms, temporarily impervious to fact, reason, or even common skepticism.

The topic that has fiercely captured the attention of the nation over the past few weeks is the procurement of witnesses for the case facing Deputy President William Ruto and journalist Joshua arap Sang.

I read Makau Mutua’s monograph in The Standard on Sunday of September 13 on my supposed place in the Somali politics and wider Kenyan politics with utter bemusement.
