Hard positions cannot resolve the current standoff. It should be about what is right...an honest means to resolve the IEBC standoff. The thing that the participants ought to know is that dialogue also means compromise; compromise on hard stances by the people involved in the talks. Politicians dig in on stated positions, belligerent electoral commissioners stand their ground, discredited mediators struggle to reclaim their pride of place and ordinary Kenyans watch from the corners. With a ticking time bomb, a dishonest political class and stubborn electoral commissioners everything seems out of control.
