The unholy alliance between business and Kenyan politics has caused many problems for our country today but fortunately, there are young upcoming political leaders who want change!
Introduction
Kenyan politics is an everyday affair. It has been this way for many years now and will remain so in the foreseeable future. It is evident that there are many different political parties in Kenya, but what do they stand for? What are their objectives? How can we as Kenyans get involved? How can we change our country for the better if it is not changing at all? This article aims to explore some of these questions by explaining how politics works in Kenya today through different aspects such as newspapers headlines talking about politics all the time; politicians being paid very well compared with other countries around Africa; access to financial resources and power by politicians; the role of young upcoming leaders who want change within their communities; an unholy alliance between business owners who want power over others (workers); the role of young upcoming leaders who want change within their communities (political parties).
Newspapers headlines talk about politics all the time
It is no surprise that Kenyan newspapers are filled with politics all the time. This is because, as a nation, we are obsessed with political issues and politicians. The newspapers are not just talking about politics but they are also talking about the politicians and their parties too!
A good example of this would be one of my favourite headlines from my hometown newspaper: “Kenya’s largest opposition party has announced plans for a mass rally on Monday to demand the resignation of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners.

Politics and leadership
The role of a political leader is to lead, inspire and motivate the people. A good leader must be capable of inspiring others to achieve their goals and ambitions. This can only be achieved by showing that his/her party has what it takes to make Kenya a better place for all Kenyans.
A citizen leader on the other hand plays an important role in ensuring that citizens have access to information about what’s happening in politics, whether at home or abroad as well as providing them with opportunities for participation at various levels: legislative, executive or judicial. These leaders also play an important part in ensuring that laws are being enforced properly by taking action against those who violate these laws while being accountable by making sure they follow them too!
The importance of citizen leadership.
The importance of citizen leadership is critical for Kenya. It is a key player in the growth, development and democracy of our country. The role played by Kenyan citizens in all walks of life will be discussed further on in this article.
The role played by citizen leadership has been vital in making sure that Kenyans are well informed about their rights as citizens, and their responsibilities towards themselves, their families and society at large. It has provided them with an opportunity to express their thoughts on various issues at both national and international levels; it also gives them a chance to voice out their concerns when they feel they have been neglected by government authorities or institutions under which they work/study because these organisations tend to favour certain groups over others based on race, ethnicity etcetera but this should never be allowed happen again!
Politicians are the best-paid in Kenya
Politicians are the best paid in Kenya. They get paid a lot of money to do nothing, and they wouldn’t be able to afford all this if it wasn’t for the people who voted them into power.
They are elected not because they want to serve their constituents but because they want to earn more money by doing so. Most politicians don’t even know how much they get paid or what they do with their salary; they just know that if you have enough people voting for you then there will be no problem getting more votes from others who think like them too!
Politicians have access to financial resources and power.
The role of a responsible political leader is very important in Kenya. This is because he/she must have access to financial resources and power. In order to achieve such access, it is necessary that he or she gains support from within the business community as well as outside groups like youth leaders.
When you think about politics in Kenya, you may associate it only with corruption and greed but this should not be your perception because there are some honourable people who are trying their best to make things better for everyone including politicians themselves! You see we are all human beings after all so why can't we get along?
The unholy alliance between business and Kenyan politics has caused many problems for our country today but fortunately, there are young upcoming political leaders who want change! They want justice for their communities so let's support them instead become dependent on money thrown at them by corrupt politicians who only care about themselves.
The role of a responsible political leader
If you're a politician or aspire to be one, then you know that there are a lot of things you need to be able to do in order for your job description to come true. You need to be able to manage your time effectively and handle pressure well. You also have to make decisions quickly and communicate clearly so that people understand what it is that they're voting for (and why).
The unholy alliance between business and Kenyan politics.
In Kenya, business and politics are inseparable. The business community has a great influence on the political system as well as government policies. Business leaders are also instrumental in shaping public opinion about issues of importance to them.
Businesses play a major role in influencing policy through their ability to donate money or time towards a cause or candidate who supports their interests.
The role of young and upcoming political leaders
Young and upcoming political leaders play a very important role in Kenyan politics. They are the future of Kenya, they can use their energy to change the country and they have so many ideas that they can use to make Kenya better.
In addition, young politicians have had success in other countries such as Malawi, Uganda and Tanzania. This means that if you have good ideas for your country it will be easier for you to get elected as an official leader because other people will see what kind of person you are before voting for your candidacy
Political parties and their impact on Kenyan politics.
The Kenyan political parties and their impact on the country's politics are important to understand. Political parties are one of the most important institutions in Kenya, as they have a history of violence, corruption and bad governance.
The first two were inherited from the colonial era when British rulers wanted to maintain control over Kenyan society by creating an ethnic divide between Kikuyu and Luo communities. This is still present with the two major dynamics tribes have strongholds in their tribal bases.
Kenyan politics is an everyday affair
In Kenya, politics is an everyday affair. For example, the best-paid politician in Kenya earns a staggering 2 million Kenya shillings per month! This is more than any other government employee in the country; in fact, it’s more than some CEOs make!
This isn’t just a result of good old-fashioned politics though: there are also financial resources and power at stake. The role of a responsible political leader includes keeping their constituents happy through jobs, healthcare and education – so politicians have to be able to provide these things if they want to stay in power for long periods of time (and earn lots of money). And since most voters don't need much convincing on who should lead them into battle against evil forces like greed or corruption...they tend not to focus too much on issues like corruption themselves! It's important then that we look beyond simple moral relativism when assessing whether something deserves praise or condemnation here because sometimes this kind of thing can feel quite darkly ironic when applied outside normal human experiences such as relationships between friends/family members etc...
Conclusion
It is a common occurrence to hear from our government officials and politicians who express the view that there is no need for any further change in Kenya's political system because it has been working very well for many years. However, this simply cannot be true as we can see from the current state of affairs where corruption has reached unprecedented levels and citizens are becoming increasingly disillusioned with their leaders. In order to ensure that this trend continues into the future, we must make sure that there is genuine leadership among those in positions of power which will ensure transparency within government finances and reduce corruption levels within society at large.
