KENYA: If you just landed back in Nairobi after a 10-year absence and read the newspapers to catch up on what is going on, you would probably be surprised little has changed in how we do things. The high-octane political rhetoric drowning the public, the spontaneous hollow pledges by leaders and the skeptical audience, the usual claims of grand graft in high places, political appointments based on ethnicity rather than merit, unabated insecurity, runaway public expenditure, etc. The occasional visitor to the country would be forgiven if he thought we are a nation stagnant in time.
