Is Kenya a project or nation-state?

Our country is so stricken by politics of ethnic identity and partisanship, moral rot and hatred that critical questions need to be asked. Do we have a nation or are we clinging on a fluid thing called ‘Kenya’? Will ‘Kenya’ die or live? And either way, how?

In a recent commentary, David Ndii cogently dismissed ‘Project Kenya’ as a failed endeavour. Pundits point out the indicators of a break-up; cycle of violence, ethnicity and the inability of the state to ensure a more equitable society.
