[File, Standard]There is a hard truth about Kenya that many pastors, politicians, and intellectuals avoid because it is uncomfortable: we are not only governed badly, but we also reward bad governance. Our crisis is not just one of leadership failure; it is a crisis of civic character. The tragedy is not that bad leaders exist; every country has them, but that we protect them. If the people do not change, the leaders will not change. And if we keep applauding failure, the nation itself will remain a failure, no matter how many prayers we offer.
