On the election trail in Kakamega, western Kenya

As Kenyans head to the polls on 9 August, we hear about the issues that matter to ordinary citizens.

We have an election snapshot from Kakamega in western Kenya, as ordinary citizens discuss the issues that matter to them. We hear from a mushroom farmer and find out why bullfighting is hugely popular in the town.

Plus, Kenya鈥檚 four deputy presidential candidates come under scrutiny in a televised debate.

And, in a totally unrelated event, a Kenyan writer - Idza Luhumyo - has won this year鈥檚 Caine Prize for African Writing.
