We've lost bearing; let us find our moral compass

If you want to know how a sick society looks like, you don't have to look far - look at Kenya. There are signs ours is a sick country, and matters will get even worse if the slide is not halted. We are talking about moral decay. The number of killings, most outrightly bizarre, are on the rise. Cases of people killing their lovers or spouses continue to rise unabated.

Just the other day, there were reports that two sisters in Kirinyaga County had attacked and killed a young man they accused of 'double-dealing' them. Why a man would date sisters, or sisters would attack their lover-cum-tormentor to death is mind-boggling.
