On Tuesday, May the 9th the Presidential Debate Steering Committee in conjunction with top journalists and executives drawn from nearly all media houses in the country announced the schedule for the presidential debate. The way to bring sanity into our politics is not through an event dubbed The Presidential Debate; it is through a well-organised process driven by among other players, the media. This way, ethnic-based politics will be tuned out of the minds of Kenyans. Since independence, our politics has been ethnic-based, something widely believed to be the reason for our failure as a country. The Kenyan media stands accused of perpetuating the culture of ethnic-based politics.
