Sycophancy is ruining Kenyans’ lives

Is it not absurd to see decent, respectable men and women, including helpless youth singing and dancing in praise of a leader who has only succeeded in depriving his people in the name of leadership? Is this not sycophancy? Almost every Kenyan is implicated in one form of sycophancy or another, much to the damage of democracy and national development.

Non-performance by our leaders is a product of sycophancy. Those who engage in sycophancy do not do so out of spite but because of material gains. Interestingly, leaders will say anything about everything, just to please their subjects. As a result, enmity is bred, mostly among political parties.
