Citizens who ask questions deserve answers, not insults

The state visit to the US by President William Ruto was certainly a moment of great pride for Kenyans. Watching him hold the hand of the first lady around the White House and hold a joint press conference with his host was indeed an exhilarating moment. But while all that was ongoing, something that should worry us all happened.

A senior government official was captured on video raining insults on a hapless Kenyan for asking him a question. The video remains an embarrassment to the government of Kenya for we, the people, have the right to know how our government is being run and how our country is being managed. The preservation of nationhood is dependent upon responsible citizenship.
