In its preamble, the 2010 Constitution begins by honouring those who fought heroically for our liberty. Our forefathers are the people thereof.
They dreamed a healthy, vibrant, nourished Kenya where within its boundaries their children and subsequent generations, would find prosperity. Yet recent developments, filled with realities of modern life, have had the very stone on which our freedom fighters set the everlasting vow, now being challenged about their very own immortality. We are our forefathers’ grandsons and granddaughters. Like my contemporaries can attest, we were encouraged to work hard and excel in school during our formative years as pupils so we can secure bright futures.
