Chinua Achebe depicts poor leadership as problem for Kenya at 50

By JENNIFER MUCHIRI

As the world continues to mourn the death of Chinua Achebe, my modest proposal is that his essay, The Trouble with Nigeria, be made compulsory reading in the school syllabus and for every public office holder in this country. In fact, any person who seeks a leadership position in any sector of our society should demonstrate that they have read and understood Achebe’s concerns in this little book.
