Shameful exploits of present-day heroes

This was the time when visionaries such as Mwai Kibaki, Martha Karu and James Orengo would grace the floor of Parliament with transformational ideas.

There was a time that being a leader in this country meant something. There was a time when one was called a hero, you knew they had shed blood, sweat, tears for a worthwhile cause. Our politics then had a vision and a purpose. We knew what we wanted and we could identify leaders who would take us there.
