A rotting society but where are the role models?

I hate hypocrisy. I like people who say things straight and who do exactly what they promise. I hate people who pretend. Yet still in day today life on various interactions pretence and being economical with the truth has become a way of life. This is quite prominent for instance in many spheres of Kenya’s life.

Though not a habit unique to Kenya, human interactions have a lot of con habits, sly, manipulative, deceitful, self-interest and such kind of behaviour.  May it be in politics, social life , business transactions (remember the second generation alcohol), regulators, police and even religious sector it is difficult to trust anyone. Yet when students of a school in Kirinyaga enroute for after end of school term holiday in Nairobi are caught exhibiting indecent behavior and with illicit substance we are outraged. Outraged we should be, but we also have to look deeper in our society and ask some hard questions. Who are the role models of these youngsters? What kind of a society are they growing in and into?
