At independence, our founding father and first president of the republic identified three key hurdles to the sprouting nation in the pursuit of development. These were poverty, ignorance and disease. Today, I choose to dwell on ignorance, even among the young and educated minds in our country Kenya.
Where there is ignorance, the best remedy is education. Or so the founding fathers suggested, however, educating the masses is proving to be insufficient in riding the country of ignorance. Fighting tribalism and negative ethnicity is at the heart and soul of my personal mission. The rate at which this social vice is hurting our country has either been understated or out-rightly ignored.
