We should not solely depend on politicians for leadership

By Ken Opalo

Our many troubles and faults aside, Kenya is on the right track. Our young institutions are beginning to find their feet and the government has a number of ambitious projects with potential to transform the lives of millions of our people. In addition, Kenyans remain as hardworking as ever and hopeful of achieving the Kenyan dream. The problem is that we do not really know what the Kenyan dream means. And as a result we lack resolve in achieving it. As a country and a people, we lack that one thing that we all find sacrosanct and that can be invoked to achieve a sense of national unity of purpose.
