The protests led to concerns that US President Donald Trump would use the remaining time in office to cause chaos. While things are likely to cool down in the US with Trump leaving office next week, politics in Kenya is set to go a notch higher. All eyes will be on county assemblies next week as they debate the referendum Bill and their actions will dictate future political formations. They will focus their energies on wooing their supporters once more and we expect more localised political alignments. Critical processes such as the BBI should be weighed on merit and not through political theatrics aimed at creating concaves for 2022.
