I have seen the report. Our elections remains the most expensive in the region (EA). Is it because the Kenyan voter has become too expensive or it is the process that is damn expensive?
Dear Nyorude,
I think voters are not expensive. It’s because of the politics of tokenism practiced by our founding fathers. They used to dish money on the road side during their meet the people tours. It became a tradition. That is where we are trapped.
