Let us review Kenya’s social contract now

Since independence, those that took custody of governing over our land also took up the ways of the colonialist. They misinterpreted the meaning of the newly gained governing power and what it meant to be in power. They forgot that they were to be custodians of this power for the people and not the owners of it.

Instead, they ended up owning up to the ways of the colonialists and taking power for their benefit. Our newly independent nation was built on the back of deceit, greed, manipulation, false ownership, bitterness and betrayal.
