The problem is political so is the solution.When it comes to this tribal balancing thing, we are simply back to (late 50's early 60's) independence politics, when many tribal parties like Akamba Peoples Party, sijui, Kenya Africa Union (KAU) which was TNA/kyukish back then, etc, were "forced" to merge, some kind of legal reasoning was used, and we ended up with KANU/KADU. The long and short of it is Kenyans can longer pretend to have "unique" political needs, catered for by literally hundreds of "tribal eating" parties e.t.c (never mind duplication of "political" duties, election complaints *1000) and expect the system to work 100%.
Just as we have modeled our constitution from COMMON LAW, just as did US, we need as Kenyans to develop our politics deliberately around CENTRAL THEMES, where we can only slightly differ in principal(Right and Left), and within our constitution. Preservation of tribal identity and promotion of these cultures should be left to regional universities and NGOs funded by the interested public, we cannot make TRIBES part and parcel of our political/economic system and advance. We do NOT NEED more than two strong political parties, that will resolve all these problems. Ignore this FACT and you will always be complaining in wazua.
Take Nyanza for example, all people (wapende wasipende) are forced "historically/traditionally/culturally" to bear allegiance to a particular personage. These personages often however instead choose to extract govt. finance/resources aka "political power" as a means to "develop" his people, RATHER than promote cultural development via NGO, exhibitions, trade, social integration e.t.c, so their loyal peoples are FORCED to surrender their political freedom to choose between IDEALS based on above models of right/left,(and yet the personage skips from right to left and to the extremes). Using political ideals has led to a lot of development in western countries. The result of tribal politics is poverty, for example in Nyanza, some parts of central e.t.c. Tribal political parties such as FORD K, WIPER, ODM/CORD, TNA, URP should be BANNED.
