What ails our neighbors up north is their winner-takes-all presidential system ambayo mshindi wa urais anapewa full state power and authority huku mwenzake (the loser) akipotea kabisa kwenye political scene.
Kenya needs to urgently review their acclaimed katiba to find ways of accommodating losing candidates. A parliamentary or semi-presidential system would benefit them greatly.
Should Kenya adopt a parliamentary system it would greatly aid the EA political federation; the more the member states are structurally similar the better and easier it is to create an East African superstate.
 
Asante Mungu kushikilia Kenya.
Tz 2020 loading. Nashuku mtazimiwa Internet

Come on.....someone's gotta take care of our 'high politics' while we member states struggle with common day to day politics. National Security, foreign affairs, international trade, space exploration even haha. Saiv mtu kama Magu who's concern ni kujenga barabara na kupeleka maji vijijini hana mda wa kuwaza space au foreign policy

We do not want the E. African countries to become a single entity- a superstate as u call it. These countries are too divided and disimilar in so many ways to be able to form a viable state.

Zero- sum politics is practiced pretty muçh all over Africa, and in most other countries all over the world, and it is not the problem in Kenya.

We once experimented with the idea of sharing power btwn the loser and the winner after a one particularly tumultous elections outcome, and it wasnt a good experience at all. I'd vouch for the winner- takes- it - all system anytime, provided that the elections are conducted in a very free and fair manner.
