Voter apathy simply means lack of interest in voting; a case whereby people who are eligible to vote don't turn out to cast their ballot on election day. One; voter apathy and why it occurs and two; what Kenyans are before the eyes of politicians. At a time when the country is facing imminent drought, lecturers and doctors are striking, the economy is shrinking and the unemployment rate is high, the politicians are united by one thing; voter registration. This proves that in the eyes of a Kenyan politician, you are first a voter, second a voter, third a voter and then later a Kenyan. It is the persistent failure to honor promises by politicians that is causing voter apathy.
