We deserve better than Uhuru and Raila

We are a nation in the process of short-changing itself. That is why we must resist being swept in the wave of mediocrity currently sweeping through this country. We Kenyans, it seems, insist on living as though we were on a death row. Nothing matters except today.

Yes, I do believe that Raila Odinga is the wrong man for president if we want progress beyond restoration. Raila’s entire brief rests on restoring Kenya to its former glory as if though there was one. This approach assumes that there ever was a time when the country was satisfied with itself. It assumes that, at some point since independence, we achieved a political and economic prosperity, the return to which would also restore our pride and national dignity.
