I have often heard people talk of 2017 as Kenya's next general election year. My observation and conclusion however point to a date not earlier than August 2018 as follows:

According to our Constitution 2010 elections are to be held on the 2nd Tuesday of every fifth year. Therefore,

March 4, 2013-2014; 2014-2015; 2015-2016;2016-2017; 2017-August, 2018 gives us the term of the next government.

The term will last a total of 53 months (7 months less of 5 years):
Months: (3*12)+9+8 = 53 months.

Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
