Kibaki to run for a second term

President Kibaki has confirmed the obvious that he will be running for a second term in office. Kenyans await the obvious confirmation that he will be running on a Narc-Kenya ticket.

His main campaign platform will be the robust economic growth that registered 5.8% growth in 2005 and an expected 6% growth in 2006. His other strengths in the free primary education programme and improved health care provision with free malaria treatment and anti-retroviral drugs to curb the HIV menace.

However failure of his anti-corruption strategy, continuance of the corruption culture, perceived unequal distribution of government positions & resources and failure to deliver a new constitution are the main concerns that could cost him his reelection bid. Other key failures include dishonoring the MOU and IPPG agenda on election of electoral commissioners.
