The Jubilee primaries/nominations are on 21st April, right?
Looking forward to Nairobi, Mbuvi vs Kenneth.

So who's going for the undesired post of Senator? Yaani, the country is not talking of Senators, it's like this position doesn't exist anymore.

Current senators are even preferring to be mps! The likes of Machage and Ongoro

You guys are missing the point of what the senate is...the Senate is a house of equity.
the problem is that we have people who want to eat and are looking for offices with budgets. The senate is meant to balance 'rough/raw' democracy of the national assembly. The national assembly which is roughly the equivalent of representative houses for population is almost representative of populations i.e. Nairobi which has 4m people has 17 seats in the national assembly (just slightly more than 200k people per seat) compared to Kwale county which has less than 700k people has 4 seats. (just less than 200k people per seat). Nakuru with it's 1.6m people has 11 constituencies. Garissa with its 6 constituencies has like 600k people. All these have 1 seat in the senate. Nairobi has 1, Garissa has 1, Marsabit has 1. This is where equity and egalitarianism of our system takes place. The problem with most kenyans is that they don't strive to understand WHY we have these seats. WHY do we have WOMEN REPS, WHY do we have SENATORS. WHY do we have 290 parliamentary seats and yet we voted YES to this constitution. Some of us who were opposed to the then constitution actually READ IT and understood it and pointed out holes in it but the lazy minded ones who complain today walifuata upepo... now sit down and get educated on WHY these positions exist. Remember - while we are DEMOCRATIC we are also a REPUBLIC where we are a nation state with a certain equality between its members. the senate seat has less meaning to a nairobian than it has to a guy in Lamu with their 100k people. That is where the 'amu' people feel like they have a voice equal to the luhyas of Kakamega.

How is the Senate the house of equity? Equity for whom? In fact it is the house of inequity because you have some Senators representing small counties population-wise or area-wise while others represent the opposite. Senate was to provide oversight over the county government and they have failed absolutely. Can Sonko tell us where Kidero took 20 billion shillings??? Why are Kidero and other Governors not in jail?

the National Assembly is supposed to be very inward looking... there is no such thing as a national assembly member who represents a county except the women's rep for numerical reasons. any member of parliament is supposed to PRIMARILY LOOK AFTER NUMBER 1! their constituents!! not sijui Coal in Garissa and you are from Bahati... you are supposed to beat to the drum of your employers... That is why I like that gatundu MP Moses Kuria... LOOK AFTER NO.1!!! kila MP akifanya hivyo things will go well. you must always have an eye on your constituency.. hiyo budget inapitishwa... inahusu watu wangu vipi? kama haiwahusu - could I be bought to vote a certain way so that the guys I scratch their backs now will scratch my back when my issue comes for discussion? Kama wamekataa abscond!! vuta pande yako!! What we have is a bunch of people who fail to do what they were employed to do because they want to do everything!
