In 2017, the whole of Kenya seems to have one top subject to talk about: The General Elections. For journalists, key to election reporting is to know about the procedures and the role of the elected positions as well as the role of the IEBC.

In consequence, an MCA tends to campaign for re-election on this basis only: Show off in the ward, point to projects … Continue reading “The Track Record of Kenyan MCAs”
