In Summary


  • • To an academic economist the proposals that are being put forward with great vigour, but devoid of any meaningful context, may seem to be simply laughable.
  • • What we see playing out in the runup to the 2022 election is little chance of any Kikuyu candidate receiving the wholehearted support of the Mt Kenya region.

In previous election cycles, with barely eight months to go to the general election, political pundits would be assessing regional sentiments to try and figure out in advance who would vote for whom.

What we see playing out in the runup to the 2022 election is little chance of any Kikuyu candidate receiving the wholehearted support of the Mt Kenya region.

And this massive vote bloc is likely to be split between the two presumed frontrunners, Deputy President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
