OVER TO YOU MR PRESIDENT: END ETHNOCENTRISM

President Uhuru Kenyatta has not acted presidential of late. He has allowed personal feelings overtake national goals and even admitted being angered by a decision of an independent institution. He is a president for all Kenyans but is currently feeding from ethnocentrism. For instance, he is avoiding to visit Nyanza region which is perceived as opposition stronghold and he fears embarrassment. This is not presidential.

The current political crisis is just a tip of the iceberg and it will take Uhuru Kenyatta to stop burying his head in the sand and go beyond being a competitor and act as a statesman.
