The power of small talk: They predict Kenya's political and economic future

I have been silently but professionally eavesdropping on common Mwananchi with regard to discussions on Kenyan politics more so with the current prevailing economic and political conditions and Kenya’s fortunes past the 2017 General Election.

I have had a significant gathering of tidbits here and there from a cross section of Kenya’s ethnic groups and economic classes. Well, the problem of tribe never stays far away whenever political, social and economic discussions arise. Moreover, it is more crudely manifested among the political class. It seems that the Kenyan psyche has that people value their ‘safety’, economic well being and they feel good by having one of their own accessing power and wealth.
