		For the purpose of elections, Kenya is divided into 210 Constituencies, each of which may return one member of Parliament to the National Assembly.
		Elections provide for a bare minimum of political participation, perhaps the only act of political participation for the vast majority of the governed, and thus provide a feeling of belonging and a degree of responsibility for government decisions.
		Similarly, elections in any political system are a form of political communication between governments and the governed, a means by which political decision-makers are made to become sensitive to the electorate’s political demands and in turn are in a position to educate the electorate on important political issues.

	KENYA
		Since 1991, when aid to Kenya was suspended on economic and human rights grounds, donors have failed to sustain pressure for the respect of human rights, in large part due to the justification that the government had taken significant steps towards economic reform.
		The election victory was based on only thirty-six percent of the popular vote, and owed much to election irregularities and divisions within the political opposition.
		The election was also marred by government harassment of the opposition during the campaign and there were widespread allegations of government manipulation of the election process.

		Elections are a controlled slowing down of revolutionary consciousness, a misdirection that spells the loss of momentum towards real change that has been generated.

		It would be a shame if Kenya went the way of Zimbabwe (or a myriad of other nations that have fallen prey to the rule of despots and madmen) because Kenya is one of the few nations that has a real chance.
		Kenya has in place everything it needs to become a regional power (it already is a regional power, but i mean in from now on in absolute terms instead of merely in relative terms).
		And i am sure it would benefit the rest of the world if Kenya distanced itself from the perils that abound unabated in Africa (for example Kenya is a close partner of the US and Britain, especially the former....and its relations with Israel are extremely strong due to joint collaboration that started from the 70s).
