I condemn the attack on Irungu Nyakera’s hotel in Kisumu. We need to separate business and politics. Otherwise some regions and towns will remain behind economically due to political uncertainty. No business will invest in a town where they think someday their property will be attacked by goons or burnt down in the heat of politics. A case in point is Eldoret, Kericho and Kisumu. These could be huge cities today but 19 years after 2007 they are still struggling to grow. Civic education is needed.
