My earnest prayers, hopes and dreams for Kenya in 2021

In this first piece of 2021, I want to share my hopes and dreams for this year. Starting with the obvious; I hope the pandemic stops its devastation, whether through a vaccine or other remedy. And I pray that no new virulent malady hits us in 2021! 

2020 will go down in history as the year when nature showed its true power. In a world where science is so advanced that we forecast the minutest of events, it is a mark of inadequacy that no one had foreseen the entire world going into lockdown, courtesy of flu. That planes would not fly for months. That whole cities in the vibrant, urbane west would go into curfew for months.
