Corruption is everywhere just that its more rampant in poor countries, tribalism racism same thing, only evil if and when one is not punished because of tribe etc.

Now lets say there was a "Kanyotu backroom operation" that would know which police wo/man is leaking out information, who is financing terror, who is coordinating these operations etc. These incidences wouldn't exist. Putin stands strong because of KGB operations..Its time UK replicated such

@Murchr, Kanyotu was in politics. CIA, KGB, Special branch, police, . . . all these are political outfits.

Then I could believe your 'unawares' argument if the challenges faced were the same as now. For example, what was the American policy on Africa then and now? What was the main agenda for Kenya then? What about now?

Politics is complex, and it requires equally complex thinking.

José Ortega ý Gasset put it truly: the problem is the 'mass man' rising everywhere. Pulling airs as 'middle class', 'political analyst' and the like. Like most of us here in wazua.

The mass man kills democracy with his ignorance and seeks to blame others. And since he knows not the value of freedom, he always seeks to be chained like a dog.

the problem with nyeuthis is that we take garbage given to us by the west very very literally and to very extreme places. Check out religion and politics....literal translations and following to the point of communal death! ni ujinga tuko nayo mingi. Moi's time had it's highs - BUT LET'S GET THIS THROUGH OUR THICK SKULLS - IT'S GONE! Kibaki's time had it's highs and Lows - THEY ARE GONE! we are here...now! hakuna reverse gear. We need to make this democracy thing work for us in the way we know best. I dare say even if it's negotiated democracy. Some people are pulling their hair right now asking 'why then do we have elections then?'. to answer them - BECAUSE IT MAKES US MOVE FORWARD. Elections are not some deity or some principle that cannot be gotten wrong! Elections move us forward! you move from point A to point B (five years later). Forget the ideals of democracy you have been told and taught - elections are alternative wars so that you don't fight real ones.

1980's. Democracy has failed in Kenya wacha kingereza mingi. People are fleeing their homes coz of this so called democracy and sijui freedom to fart. Stupid africans neither understand the true tenets of democracy, nor do they respect it. This country did not deserve this nonsence.
