Let us not cheat ourselves. The health of the Kenyan nation is bad. It is wicked to pretend that it is anything else. It does not matter that it is President Uhuru Kenyatta who tries to convince us otherwise.
We should get very worried when, in the face of all the evidence to the contrary, the President looks us straight in the eye and tells us that all is well. Let me tell you the truth; all is not well. And this is why, traditionally, I have never trusted the people in Government. They tell you things that make you wonder whether they think that you operate on cold porridge in the head. How do they tell you things that defy the plain evidence before you?
