Forget politics, concentrate on development

Rhetoric and political brinkmanship have no place in Kenya today; not when there is so much to do. Yet the lower levels to which Kenyan leaders have sunk while pushing sectarian interests detrimental to the development are evident in the way leaders conduct themselves in public. The claim about an assassination plot against the deputy president has not helped matters. While leaders should seize moments when development projects present the chance to unify the people they lead, some use such chances to spread discord.
