These are the real Kenyan patriots

The blood of innocent Kenyans continues to flow in the river of time. Is it the blood of a collapsing order gasping for breath as it crumbles into a state of anarchy? Or is it the blood of convulsive maternal pangs giving birth to a new and better Kenya? Let the choice be ours!” Alamin Mazrui, 1997.

Sycophants and their coterie are not patriots. Patriots are not made in government or by the opposition. They are self-made. Advocates of change, you will find them in and out of government, in civil society, parastatals, in private corporations and in the remotest of villages, making the smallest of ripples.
