Uhuru Kenyatta needs to do more to tackle grand corruption

In a democracy, politicians seek power because they want to govern or rule. They have a vision of the society they seek to vindicate, and a roadmap to get there. A leader doesn’t run all the way to State House against great odds only to do nothing.

 Power isn’t a flower that’s put on display in the foyer. No power is an instrument of authority, coercion, and responsibility. In a democracy, power is given by the people to the ruler who must exercise it accountably, and for the public good. Power isn’t a private possession that belongs to the ruler. Which begs the question why did TNA’s Uhuru Kenyatta seek power? Why hasn’t he used it to fight corruption?
