The market has picked and the bull run witnessed in 2006 seems to have slowly returned.we are now nearing elections which have proved to be potentially risky to investments. Is it time to apply brakes to investing and watch how politics will unfold? The hague issue could be a time bomb that can cause panic to investments if people implicated decide to incite their people and cause chaos

Nothing will happen in 2012...

Its my experience that a very bad experience leaves a very bad taste in people's mouths so something like the P.E.V is impossible to forget and makes it hard to believe there will be a peaceful election... But believe me there will be nothing in 2012

Sad but true! The 'masses' are a bunch of idiots who will follow their tribal chieftains no matter what!

Maybe we have learnt some lessons following last election's and the fact that some people could be followed. Me thinks future elections will be more peacefull than past elections

More peaceful? Yes. Peaceful? No. IMHO, there will be regional outbreaks of violence...

@pkoli, you will be suprised how quickly people forget. As VVs says, lots of people will still follow their chieftains no matter what

Kenya is one of the most unequal societies in the world; it is an uphill task to preach peace and tranquillity to empty stomachs. For a community to grow and mature there must be a few commonalities…equal access to information and opportunities.

For a holistic view of Kenya life….compare the life of kids brought up Magadi, Turkana, Runda, Kibera and Donholm….the bitter reality that these kids will rarely meet same roof and conditions…This is one biggest evils of pure capitalism

As one of the leading of leading economist once said: The Wall Street can’t continue to boom while the Main Street suffers…
More monies, more problems...

My two cents....With the new constitutional dispensation, there are too many positions regionally to keep the kingpins busy. Senators, Governors etc. The electoral Institutions with the exception of IIBRC are more credible and better managed. I think we will have a more peaceful 2012.
