We’re all willing players in insults against humanity

Leaders should be thinkers, and thinkers leaders. Because they think, they know what to say and what to leave unsaid. They even know how to say a bad thing in a good and decent manner. While Africa is the original home of thought and thinkers, it is tragic that the continent thinks no more.  

More tragic is that leadership is now the reserve of those who seem to be the most intellectually challenged among us. They act and speak not on the effort of the intellect, but on generous impulse and inborn appetites. That is why in political circles in Kenya, there is now hysteria around mothers, breasts and sundry parts of feminine anatomy.
