As our useless muppets traverse the country making promises they will never keep and issuing cheques that will bounce, have they even considered what will happen to them if the kids come out to vote?

Will the kids vote by tribe? Are they loyal to the tribal ruler? Will 500 bob handouts sway them? Can they think beyond the day?

The UK has just seen team 18-24 come out and fix them...will it happen here?

I have found to my dismay that in Kenya, young people are in many cases more tribal then those between 30 and 50. I suspect it has something to do with coming of age at a time when tribal tensions are at their highest..

This is also the generation that has been brainwashed into thinking that you must vote for your tribe at all costs even if the leaders is a thief, a murderer or just plain incompetent.

Those who came of age during the first Nyayo era had no such considerations. So though they are also tribal, I tend to think they are less tribal.

The previous generation have actually experienced something close to national cohesion so they can envision such a society while the younger generation only knows tribal tension.
