The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
In Kenya’s vibrant forums and heated discussions, a troubling sentiment emerges; the yearning for a benevolent dictator to vanquish corruption, underdevelopment, and injustice. I contend that this is a perilous illusion — a slippery slope into an irretractable abyss.
Benevolent dictatorship lacks inherent accountability or self-limiting mechanisms. Its broad latitude, meant for good, inevitably spawns new injustices, corruption, and stagnation, clashing irreconcilably with Kenya’s 2010 Constitution.
