The Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) has been engaging its supporters in the weekly anti-IEBC protests in major towns through the country.
The main concern for Cord is the inability of the electoral commission to organise and oversee the next general elections due to lack of integrity and accountability.
However, the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs Amina Mohamed has come out to show that her ministry is finding it had to lure investors to the Kenyan economy with the increased demonstrations.
In Kisumu on June 6, Tumaini and Naivas supermakets were vandalised in acts of hooliganism from the anti-IEBC demonstrators.
In Nairobi County, businesses were paralysed as all shops were closed for fear of being robbed off of their valuables, with the demonstrators setting a blaze one matatu.
This is for fear of vandalism of their property and the losses they will make on the days they do not open their doors for their customers.
The actions by Tumaini and Naivas supermarkets to vacate Kisumu County is a clear indication of the frustrations accrued in the monthl long demonstrations.
The government (Jubilee) and the opposition (Cord) should engage in constructive dialogue that will eventually lead to peace and tranquility that will lure investors to the country.
The country is still in war with terrorism that has affected the country dearly, and the weekly demontration by Cord will only worsen matters.
The post-election violence in 2007 is still a painful reminder to investors who lost millions of shillings in the skirmishes.
The political tension already created in the country will only make investor fear for what may happen after 2017 general elections, and this may lead to vacation by major investors for fear of security there by crippling the economy.
