We the middle class are the problem in this country. We make most noise about governance and political leadership. When we are called upon to make choices we suddenly remember we come from a certain village and speak a certain language and vote where our tribe is voting. We then spend the next 5 years making noise about governance, Political leaders etc. If we keep voting tribe even when our tribesmen are highly likely to fumble through 5 years we only make life miserable for ourselves and our children. How also do we expect the rural folk or those economically challenged to make wise decisions when we who are blessed to have economic abilities would rather shirk the responsibility of making the wise choices and make tribaly informed ones?
National politics is a culmination of the politics of home,village,constituency etc. Charity begins at home. If you can't organize, lead, utilize resources well and inspire people at home and constituency levels odds are full house you will fail at the national level. We all know that. Look at Obama, he started in Chicago with the communities and within a short time it was obvious he had the right leadership qualities needed to the top. Lets look at UK, Tinga, Muda, Mulonzo & Karua etc Frankly speaking and if we look at our consciences, they have been dismal in management of resources at constituency level and in leadership as well. They beleive they can outsource that and focus on national politics.
A good president must have good resource management skills, Political management skills, vision and ability to inspire. I don't see any of qualities in the honorable gentlemen and woman. PK lacks in Political skills but has demonstrated resource management skills and inspirational leadership. The question is what does Kenya need for the next 5 years!
