Uhuru should stop lying to Kenyans, act

Inefficiencies abound in the Jubilee government. That's a fact no one wants to deny. But the malady is not inefficiencies per se for no human system-- political or otherwise-- can be perfect. The malady is the impunity. The arrogance. The dishonesty. The let-them-talk-I-am-still-the-president attitude with which those inefficiencies are presented to the public.

That in the wake of runaway corruption and related governance evils, the government has chosen to play to the gallery with rhetoric upon rhetoric is as annoying as it is unhelpful. There are people, umpteen if you will, who had the hope that a Uhuruto government brought on board a shift from the antique regimes of Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki. These people chose to ride on the notion that a youthful government would shake the foundations of status quo and rid the country off impunity. Some argued, rather pedestrianly, that Uhuru was already affluent and thus did not need to be president in order to loot public wealth. They chose optimism over scepticism.
