“…A study based on 2013 polling data showed that, compared to 2007, Kikuyu support for Kenyatta fell by 11 percent (from 94 percent to 83 percent) in 2013 (Ferree, Gibson, and Long 2014, 6-7). This is a break from the past because Kenyans are typically steadfast supporters of their co-ethnics (Jonyo 2003;Wrong 2009). Analysis of our 2015 survey evidence may help shed light on the slow erosion of support for Kenyatta, which continues in 2019 (Opalo 2019).…”

“…This makes sense. In Kenya, voters typically support their own ethnic leader's bid for the presidency because presidents historically have shared the country's spoils with their co-ethnics (Jonyo 2003;Wrong 2009). If losing one's leader means losing money and influence to rival groups, then ethnic allegiance should have a doubly powerful influence on political attitudes.…”

“…Instances of such tribal sentiments are found almost daily in digital content, where users tend to approve or condemn issues based on ethnic consciousness. Also arising out of the emi lo kan slogan is the inherent but inexplicit message of corruption which Wrong and Williams (2009) encapsulated in their book It's Our Turn to Eat: The Story of a Kenyan Whistleblower. In the book, Wrong and Williams (2009) outline the greed and corruption in governance where political leaders relegate national interest completely in favour of personal gain, which they have already made evident in their slogans.…”

“…In the Kenyan context, a three-tiered affiliation, namely, the family, the clan and the ethnic group are the foundation upon which forces of social organisation and socialisation revolve (Jonyo 2002, 105). It is these sentiments that post-independence Kenyan politicians continue to exploit in their endeavour to create political cleavages to their personal advantage, with mottos such as "It's our turn to eat" (Wrong 2009), thereby inhibiting healthy inter-ethnic relationships and the attendant social, political and economic stability.…”
