A call for nationalism in legislation for Kenya

Senator Gideon Moi

NAIROBI: In this contemporary, globalised world we all live in, the word nationalist or nationalism has taken on a negative character. It is a term that has become synonymous with racism, anti-immigration, evil and even that chap Donald Trump!

Nationalism in Kenya, in Africa and for me, however, is something else entirely. It is a philosophy of unity, a call for service to a cause greater than all of us and a banner under which nation-building can flourish. It is not an out-dated term, nor one that should be looked upon with suspicion, it is a necessary vision and philosophy that will guide our great Republic towards prosperity.
