'It's our turn to eat' mentality an existential threat to Kenya

It's Albert Camus who once observed that "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer''. As we mark Mashujaa Day, the day of the heroes and heroines of this country, excavating the invincible summer in our hearts is an imperative of our time.

Truth be told, we are a people in a quandary about the present. If there is no course correction, then even the future may not be any better. I will not waste time reciting the problems of the present times. For to do so might simply depress an already depressed people. Our challenges are enormous and complex. The mounting disillusionment is palpable while the elected leaders are trapped in an unending self-seeking journey that knows no end.
