, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Kenya remains a favorite destination for investments and trade despite political uncertainties surrounding the Oct. 26 repeat presidential elections, an official said Thursday.
Government Spokesman Eric Kiraithe said at a media briefing in Nairobi that the investment climate has not been adversely affected by high-octane politics that have become the hall mark of this election season.
"Foreign investors and local entrepreneurs have devoted resources in pursuit of economic development even as the country grapple with election jitters. The government is committed to ensure that economic activities are cushioned from political risks," said Kiraithe.
Kenyans will return to the polling booths on Oct. 26 to elect a new president in line with Supreme Court order for repeat presidential polls after it annulled the ones held on Aug. 8 citing gross malpractices.
The incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta will face off with Raila Odinga from the National Super Alliance (NASA) in the hotly contested polls that will test Kenya's ability to sustain its democratic credentials and economic vibrancy.
So far, Kenyatta's and Odinga's lieutenants have escalated rhetoric during the campaigns to win the hearts and minds of an estimated 15 million registered voters.
The two candidates and their allies are yet to agree on modalities of conducting the repeat presidential polls, worsening uncertainties in the country.
Kiraithe assured the public and the business community that security agencies were on high alert to forestall threats to civil harmony and economic development.
"Our greatest strength as a country is our independent institutions like security services that have remained steadfast in this election cycle to deter lawlessness and other acts that are injurious to entrepreneurship and national cohesion," Kiraithe said.
He added the government was committed to implementation of transformative projects in agriculture, energy, infrastructure, health and ICT sectors despite poll uncertainties.

Effectively, right here we are again, careening towards Election Day with a lot of of the polls in the margin of error. Could this be yet another yr our president is picked, not by well-liked selection, but by the vote of a single Supreme Court justice? Does this likelihood conjure up ghosts of a past presidential election? A presidential election with early returns that appeared to coronate the Democratic nominee only to dash his hopes even just before the celebrations could commence? A presidential election that left Florida’s electoral result in chaos with equally sides rushing agents south to check out the count? A presidential election that elected a candidate who had truly lost the popular vote? A presidential election with fuzzed up election returns leaving the Democrat’s feeling bitter and betrayed? Yeah, the presidential election of 1876 was arguably the most fiercely disputed election in American heritage. What’s that you say I acquired the yr incorrect? Examine on.
The Republican candidate was Rutherford B. Hayes. Born in Ohio in 1822, Hayes was educated at Kenyon University and Harvard Law University. He fought in the Civil War, and was wounded in action. In spite of his injuries, Hays ascended to the rank of brevet main basic. Even though nonetheless in the Union Army, Hays won a seat in the House of Associates in1865. Amongst 1867 and 1876 he served three terms as Governor of Ohio.
Samuel J. Tilden was the Democratic nominee. Tilden was a veteran of New York politics that went back again to Martin Van Buren. Tilden’s part in exposing and prosecuting the Boss Tweed Ring propelled him to the governorship of New York in 1874. Tilden was an instead curious alternative for the Democratic candidate. He was sixty-two years old (old in terms of a politician’s age in those days) and a multimillionaire and so not genuinely thought to be a populist (practically a prerequisite for a Democratic candidate at the time and maybe even nowadays.)
Nonetheless, the betting odds clearly favored Tilden with Hays prepared to concede even before the total was tallied. Certain ample, the early final results of that election evening indicated that Tilden would quickly win and Hays was grasping a towel, maybe not in his hand but certainly in his brain with strategies to toss it in the subsequent day. But in the wee hrs of that submit election day, just as the New York Times editorial workers was about to announce Tilden the winner, a message arrived from the Democratic get together with a request that diverted the flow of the election away from Tilden and toward Hays. The Demarcates asked the Instances for an estimate of the electoral vote. Why would the Democrats request this estimate if they have been sure of victory? This message conveyed adequate insecurity by the Democrats to cause the New York Periods, a staunch Republican organ, to maintain off its announcement of a Tilden win. In these days the New York Periods was considered to be the closing authority on all issues enumerated. The Occasions as an alternative of proclaiming Tilden the winner, announced that several states, which includes Florida, had been nevertheless to shut to get in touch with leaving both sides quick of a vast majority of electoral votes necessary to win.
