The @citizentvkenya interview of @MigunaMiguna was terrible. Terrible. First, this moral authority question is so simplistic. Providing a list of contradictions between what someone said on different days does not constitute any point. All it sounds like is "aha! nimekupata."  Argumentation requires more than pointing to inconsistencies, because many times, inconsistencies come from forces external to the individual himself. You can't hold Miguna responsible for how Wantam behaves, surely. Call Wantam himself, present his history and ask him the questions you were asking Miguna.

Two, I don't believe in holding Kenyans' feet to the fire about the candidates they elected. Kenyan presidential elections are like American ones: we're subjected to a two horse race and a few unlucky donkeys on the side, as @VillageKahuna put it. There are so many good candidates that were blocked from the ballot. On top of that, we are not obligated to justify everything the elected official did just because we supported that official's candidacy. Come on, @AyubAbdikadir. People change their minds. Candidates don't do what they promised. Elections are not like CBE pathways where you must stick to the same position and never change till you die.

And then holding Miguna Miguna responsible for analyzing manifestos: boss, that's your job as the media! And the media consistently doesn't do it. I've analyzed manifestos for the last two elections. Go to my posts. I flagged hustlernomics, I flagged CBC, and you people were too busy calculating ethnic numbers to care.

There's one thing I've appreciated over the last three years: the mainstream media is seriously, seriously challenged when it comes to political discourse. They equate moralizing to argumentation. They can't talk of issues beyond personalities. Of course, it's a challenge across all our institutions. It's worse in the education system. The problem is that the media thinks of itself as the opposite.
