How skewed state policies promote marginalisation

There are Kenyans who live in self-delusion. But none irks me more than people who unashamedly argue there is no such thing as marginalisation, be it regions, ethnic groups or communities. Those who peddle such pedestrian persuasions assert that marginalisation is invariably self-inflicted, or inherent and innate quality of the residents or community, such as laziness, backwardness and cultural trappings. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Marginalisation is socio-economic exclusion! Period. There is no inborn, natural inclination to be backward or be socially excluded. Every human being desires greatness and has an innate need for achievement, success and development. Darwinian evolutionists argue that men were all apes and we each strived through evolution to varying degrees of human perfection. Nonsense! Today, we are all born equally as babies, with same level of IQs, pretty ignorant and literary thoughtless. The environment we are brought up in makes us who we are. Clearly, a child born into a wealthy Nairobi couple cannot be socio-economically the same as one born to a poor, homeless family along Lake Turkana.
