Cleophas Malala's push to have Kenya Kwanza constituent parties fold up is ill-timed and ill-advised. Ill-timed because it is too early and ill-advised because of the nature of our politics.

Malala's enthusiasm has the danger of throwing us into another era of internal party wars that may derail the government he claims to fight for.
