Kenya nation needs remodeling

Leadership is not easy for any serious organization or nation. Leading a nation of whatever shade is quite demanding. Leading some of the nations is always a daunting task. Some are tough to lead due to their size, history, status in the world (as is USA), or a multiplicity of issues that need to be addressed (as is Kenya and many other countries, war (several countries in the globe), neighborhood etc. Leading a country like Kenya is never easy and requires a lot of self-sacrifice. I have seen many lamenting over so many things wrong with Kenya that include tribalism, corruption, unprincipled politicians, poor leadership at various levels leading to non-delivery of service, spate of school violence and so on. Based on the so many things we find not right in Kenya, calls for the remodeling of the nation culture.

As an example, unless we are able to root out tribalism, it will not be easy to do away with corruption. Corruption has contributed to most of the mess we find ourselves in. The seismic and trickle down effects of corruption has had its toll on Kenya’s political, economic and social health. It has made sure that there are no enough drugs in government hospitals, not enough doctors in hospitals, those doctors present not paid well, it has denied our schools enough funding, it has ensured the poor cannot get good education, it has ensured teachers are poorly paid and highly demotivated, it has ensured wrong people on the right  or important jobs which they can’t perform or are there for selfish needs, it has ensured  that unemployment becomes a perennial problem that condemns many to poverty, it has destroyed institutions, it has ensured our infrastructure  remained backward , ensured investors such as manufactures move to other destination and destroyed  human dignity to many as it has ensured the quality of life for majority remain low to average.
