The Nation (Nairobi)

IF THERE IS A COUNTRY WHERE opinion polls should be banned, it is Kenya. When, as I have done before (DN, October 25), I argue that polls are more a tool for "political engineering" than for "social physics" as Auguste Comte envisaged, I raise real concern: Figures don't lie, but liars can figure.

I think Dr Kalambuka should stick to physics and let interested Kenyans discuss their country's politics and opinion polls in their beer clubs. Opinion polls influence more people to be involved in the country's politics, especially the young and educated. This trend should be appeciated.
