        The value of a democracy is lost when its people vote for leaders based on ethnicity rather than principles.

        if it is rotational, it in essence ceases to be democratic.

        "...serve more than two terms until...presidency had rotated through all the 45 communities..." hard for the other 44 to agree to this, no?

        The rotation in itself is the symptom of the dysfunction: leadership isn't what we take turns to enjoy; it's sacrifice and service, no?

        A rotational presidency looks good on paper but is unworkable in practice because it means the best person doesn't always get the job.

        Kenya can't be a nation unless the Kikuyu stop marginalizing the other tribes!

        The political and economic structure of Kenya, beautiful country, is far from Switzerland.

        Nigeria and Tanzania have something "similar" and it works most of the time.

        Flawed as it sounds, the level of illiteracy and ignorance of the average voter can't be swept under the carpet. So it might work.
