Today Kenya turns 60. The journey has been great but with the usual ups and downs. Attaining self-rule on June 1 was a dream of the country's fathers and with it was born a vision of a country where tribe and cultural diversity were bonding factors; the spirit of harambee, of coming together for a common purpose, pervaded all corners.

It was in the interest of every citizen that prosperity was a shared goal and the fruit of joint labour. Looking back, we have made great strides as a nation. However, we seem to have lost the glue that held us together when we wrested control of our destiny from the colonialists.
