Thus far, Sakaja is an inspiration to many of his generation

In dire times like this, it is useful to refocus from our difficult circumstances and celebrate people or occurrences that are uplifting. Today, my focus is Nairobi’s young legislator Senator Sakaja Johnson (pictured). By all accounts, Sakaja is a brilliant politician. Like many, he came into high octave politics without the benefit of royal blood and no tall relative to hold his hand and introduce him to the right people. He walked into the Kibaki campaign purely by his credentials as a data cruncher and dynamic leader amongst his age group.
