If I survey on political interest was to be carried out throughout the world, Kenyans would come first! We sleep, eat, drink, talk, and dream politics, ALL the time. And our media doesn't help....they report on the same, create news on the same, ALL the time.
I think that it may be extremely sueful if, our media could report on other more useful things, more positive things, like economy, education. If for example, the media was to give politics and politicians a black-out for a month, would we KENYANS who eat and sleep politics, STARVE? Or would we stop watching news (which we are very addicted to), or stop buying the dailies? I don't think so. May be they, the media should give this a try. Otherwise, even such lofty ideas as vision 2030 will not be achieved unless we consume less politics and more of the other important stuff.
