Kenya is reaching a time of unprecedented excitement since becoming a fully-fledged multi-party democracy in 1991. Yet this excitement is not a childish, uncontrollable, irrational excitement. That is the sort of excitement we can save for the current Fifa 2018 World Cup madness which seems to have taken over the lives of our husbands and sons (and also my daughters).
The reason why I am excited as a politically interested (relatively) rational thinker, is unfortunately for some readers, unrelated to football. I am excited because it appears we are coming of age as a democracy. I am excited because for the first time in generations I feel that our elected officials are showing real political maturity.
