Parliamentary Impasse a set back to peace and stability in Kenya

Barely three days after the state opening of parliament in Kenya, the ugly monster of the grand coaltion government seems to be poking its head into the August House. The coalition government has been accussed by all and sundry for failing to deliver to the satisfaction of the citizenry given the promises made immediately after signing the peace accord following the ethnic convulsions which erupted after the bungled elections in December 2007.
The wrangling-which now seems to be a common feature of the coalition is extending to the House as both parties in the coalition jozzle for parliamentary suppremacy. This development portends a danger to the country's stability given the suspicions still existing among the various ethnic communities in Kenya. Hopes of Vision 2030 seem to be on the hanging line as priorities of building the nation seem to have been misplaced.
