Are coalitions good for Kenyan politics?
We speak to Musalia Mudavadi, Kenya’s ‘Prime Minister’ and part of Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza (‘Kenya First’) political alliance. Over 30 years, he’s served under a series of presidents.
Kenyans have got used to a system of political coalitions with long-term politicians forming new alliances, changing parties…. often in the run up to elections.
But is this a good thing? Does it give Kenya a more consensual form of politics? Or is it just a system of patronage which rewards the political elite – and is inherently instable?
For Africa Daily Alan Kasujja discusses the subject with Musalia Mudavadi, Kenya’s ‘Prime Minister’ – as well as about his government’s hopes for Kenya to take leadership role on the subject of food security and the environment.
