How intellectuals, scholars and writers have failed Kenya

Kenya is at the crossroads both with her economy- an admission from none other than the Treasury Cabinet secretary Henry Rotich himself. Education and leadership right from the county to national level, where corruption has just taken a life of its own and the gerrymandering with the constitution by the ruling class to suit their egocentric insatiable thirst for more power. The Press in Kenya is yet again staring at the abyss we thought we had successfully sidestepped with the promulgation of the new constitution. 

Yet when a country is taking the steep path to failure as it is unfolding with Kenya before our own eyes, it is not only enough to berate the political  leaders but ask what the intellectuals, scholars and  writers are doing about it as Rasna Warah opined about India and Kenya.  They say an intellectual is an extremely rational person; a person who relies on intellect rather than on emotions or feelings in judging and doing things.
