Experts warn politicians to tone down rhetoric

“Party division is undermining concerted coherent action at that [county] level. At the local level in places like the coast, the county is often run by CORD affiliates who have a majority in the county assemblies and hold the governorship and decide how much money they want to spend as a county on things like extra security. But the Jubilee Alliance government controls the county commissioners, and so there is a partisan divide. Having more party unity [at that level] would be a good thing.”
