A culture of mediocrity in leadership is gradually sinking into the Kenyan political space. As citizens, we cannot allow it to continue unabated. We should not settle for counterfeit leadership.
Leadership is manifest in the ability to inspire confidence. When political leaders take to the podium at a forum where Kenyans have gathered, they better deliver inspiration; at the very least, sense. By this measure unfortunately, the standard of political leadership that is currently unravelling in Kenya is proving unable to deliver any of these things.
