@quicksand has put it right. The rest are just being simplistic. They pick handful D students, like Sonko or Joho and portray as though they represent the 70% and 65% of KCSE Students who scored D+ in 2017 and 2018 respectively for example. We are talking about 900,000 Kenyan Youth minus two or three who will succeed!
But what about at the top though?  This is the elephant in the room that you guys do not want to tackle. If an A student is so smart, how come the intellectual cream is underrepresented at the topmost of the top? Why do Harvard MBAs who are so smart end up working for barely literates? Why are the C (and maybe even D and E) students over-represented at the top levels of business and politics? Answer me that and then maybe I can take you guys seriously. Pointing to the bottom tells us nothing and isn't even the subject matter of the book. I know this book is breaking a lot of hearts but the truth hurts and we cannot avoid it  Politicians are employees of the government of you don't know. Life is short. Live passionately.

Sparkles,
Your E-student logic/tangents are very endearing. Good entertainment as we wait for some serious answers from others on this thread together.

In reality there are 9 types of intelligence (see below). Most succesful people in their areas of specializations are A students in their respective intelligences. Mariga and Oliech may be able to count up to 100 but their loco-motor skills are in the top percentile. Njenga Karume may not have had a PHD but he was the driving force behind Kibaki's political sucess, able to negotiate and broker power among Kibaki's friends and foes. His interpersonal skills were incredible. Juacali may not have a university degree but challenge him to a rap battle! Bottomline is that mediocrity cannot rise people to the top or keep them there. Whoever rises to the top in whichever field is an A student at his game.  How comes The Virtual Republic of Wazua does not have a "like" or "love" button? How comes? Er, ummm,.... because it was created by a 'C' student?  "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."
