We are a lost people.

The political situation is indeed hot at this time of the year, what with everyone defending their candidate blindly and I mean it literally. Your man is an angel even when caught with cookie crumbs in their lips. “Am not a tribalist he is just the best leader” you say, yeah right as the Americans would put it. May be we should ban the tribes who are offering candidates from voting, I believe this would go a long way into diffusing the already tribally polarized election fever. Funny how the people who have least benefited from their man being in power are the most fierce defenders of Mzee.Just what is it with our people; we refuse to take any rational and logical choices for as long they exclude our favorite son. The best way to undo this ethnic polarity is to ask people to have 42 candidates and each voter must not vote for their tribesman. The big question is, is it possible for someone to support a candidate from their own tribe solely based on merit? Or are we too clouded with our turn this and our turn that?
