Sad that political immorality is quickly pushing us to the brink

With great respect, I strongly differ with the many initiatives different able actors are proposing in an attempt to drive the country out of the current political quandary in which many of us are caught between two aggressive political formations: Kenya Kwanza and Azimio Coalition. Yet there is a third option.

To figure out what the third option is, one must wear what John Rawls calls the Veil of Ignorance. In this veil, the invite is the one making decisions should do so without imagining whom it will affect. The outcome must be favourable to the beneficiaries who could turn out to be the decision maker's own children and grandchildren.
