The Paradox of freedom: Is there more liberty in Kenya than in the Western world?

Kenyans who want to emigrate to the West, rarely East, cite freedom as one the key motivations. They want to be free, just like the pilgrims who left England for Americas 400 years ago. They were running from the monarch and its absolute power over their lives.

Freedom in Kenya is no longer connected without Mau Mau war particularly among the younger generation. It has more economic connotation than political. When non-Kenyans visit here, some do not to return to their countries, citing unbridled freedom in Kenya.
