Main reasons why Kenyans are opposing broad-based government

A significant majority of Kenyans harbour strong reservations against forming a Broad-Based Government, primarily citing concerns over the prioritisation of personal interests over public welfare.

The leading reason for opposition, expressed by 37% of respondents, is that such a structure "makes public interest subservient to personal gain."

This suggests a deep public cynicism regarding the motivations of political leaders in these arrangements.

The second major objection, held by 27% of the public, centers on democratic principles, arguing that a Broad-Based Government "undermines democracy/role of the opposition and lacked public consultation."

This reflects a desire to preserve a robust opposition and inclusive decision-making processes. Furthermore, a sizable 17% feel that such a government "is irrelevant to public needs/development."

Less prevalent concerns included fostering corruption (8%), not trusting the involved leaders (5%), and fostering human rights violations (3%). Only 1% offered no response, indicating a high degree of engagement with the issue.
