MOU's and KANU elections

http://www.eastandard.net/archives/cl/print/news.php?articleid=5493

This really got my knickers in a bunch. I was really dissappointed that a whole PoliSci professor would be talking such nonsence. Look the country is already suffering from these pre-election agreements. What guarantees do we have that the "Consensus line" will hold after the election? We should let party members declare their support for one or the other. If KANU wants to prove that it has reformed and that it is dedicated to democracy and transparency, it should be willing to hold open and fair elections. It should not fall into the false trap of believing that pre-election MOU's will hold firm. As we have seen with NARC, we should ensure transparency and democracy within our parties, to avoid unnecessary turmoil and in fighting.

If KANU is amature party, with mature structures and a mature Constitution, then Dr. Anangwe should not be afraid that the party will collapse. If the elections are free and fair, then their is no reason to fear disintegration. Dr. Anangwe should have more faith in his party's ability to hold elections and allow the domocratic process unfold.
