Let sobriety prevail in the quest for a just society

Currently, the nation is at stake in many issues. The political tension can be felt virtually in all corners, even as we look up to the 2017 general elections. The media have shaped this discourse much to the heightening of the current impasse. The role of media must be probed and tamed. The media in its bid to provide information must ascertain sobriety in providing coverage to politicians spewing hate and tribal bigotry in their public appearance.

Kenya, for once I can say lack maturity in politics. Our leaders have become misleaders, why? instead of engaging in progressive politics, tabling policies enacted to improve the social, economic welfare of the common mwananchi, their stance on real issues affecting the electorate like security, escalating tax on basic commodities, championing proper electoral reforms have been marred with self-accentuating hero-worship  and based on vested interests.
