Dialogue is the only way to recapture the Kenyan dream

That God has granted to us a great nation cannot be disputed. The natural beauty, social stability, and economic prosperity of this nation make it the envy of many. Many are those who wish they were Kenyans. Indeed, there are several Westerners – whose nations we often long to live in – who have come here for leisure or business, but have turned Kenya into their home. Yet, some of us appear determined to destroy this nation through our negative attitudes, speech and actions. Could we have lost the vision for our nation?

I spent part of last week at the Coast as a facilitator at the annual convention of the County Public Service Boards National Consultative Forum. Bringing together leaders serving on the boards from across the 47 counties, the convention ran on the befitting, yet telling theme, “48 Governments 1 Nation – Rebuilding the Kenyan Dream.”
