Exactly one month to go until the national elections in Kenya, and with each passing day, doubts grow about the date of 9 August.
A date that is too close to be true, with all the issues that still seem to be pending and new questions surfacing, an event that has been talked about for a year now and that is being bandied about as a watershed, but the closer it gets, the more and more Kenyans themselves believe less and less that Raila Odinga or William Ruto can be the panacea for ills that are not only local and that any kind of government would seem unsuitable to cure.

The regularity of these elections "At arm's length, at a distance of offence, that peace is thought of, that peace is touched" as Fabrizio De Andrè put it, is however threatened by the lack of confidence of parties and coalitions in the incorruptibility of the IEBC electoral commission, by the alleged independence of the judiciary that accepts, rejects and re-accepts appeals by disqualified presidential candidates, governors and civil society, and by the most serious contenders for the country's leadership themselves, such as 'baba' Odinga, who has threatened to boycott the polls if the electronic vote register is not flanked by manual counting. What are the fears of Odinga and his coalition, backed by the current president who continues to remain above the campaign trail? And what are Ruto's moves to gain support while others complain?
