To win, let ‘Washenzi Movement’ be inclusive

It must be weird living in Mandera or Lokichogio and watching all the politicking about the “neglect” of Central Kenya by the Jubilee Administration. This is because “neglect” is the wrong framing of the problem of underdevelopment in Central Kenya. After all, every Kenyan with eyes has seen all the attention the region has received from the Jubilee Administration – from government jobs, to promises of infrastructure investments, to loan forgiveness, to Harambee contributions.

The real problem that those in the so-called “Washenzi Movement” (led by a section of Central Kenya politicians) should focus on is not the “neglect” of the region, but government incompetence.
