Potential of Coalition Politics Reducing Tribalism
Contemporary political trajectroy in kenya is leaning more towards coalition politics. Interestingly, political parties are consolidating at regional and sub-regional levels.

They are being empowered and its amazing someone posted a message that women cannot think! Sad as it is...they really do think. They just need support and a chance from people who believe in them.Moreover they have been able even in countries where women are not recognised.

The Trouble With Kenya.
the trouble with kenya does not lie in the productivity capacity of her land. it does not rest in the poor infrastructure therein. it does not hail from the tenets of its inevitable tribal diversity, but its rather founded squarely on its poverty in leadership with the sequel being primitive accumulation of its resources via utilisation of ethnicity.
