Only if Kenyans demand accountability and switch from tribal voting to issue based voting. If you dont't then issues like corruption, incompetence, impunity and lack of accountability will never be solved. Likely won't happen in our lifetimes. But it can start somewhere.

You are rather naive if you think promotions are done purely on merit in an government institution. Heck even in the private sector their is a lot of politics and tribalism. I was not denied a promotion in the Forces. I would never dream of working for the Kenya government precisely because merit is not the key factor in who rises to the top. I have spoken numerous times with people in the police and in the army.

And if promotions are done purely on merit and there is accountability then why are our security forces so incompetent? Look at their reaction to Westgate, Garissa Univ etc. Look at how that El Adde camp was so poorly secured. Look at the lack of intelligence gathering. And what about the possibility that they were warned of an impending attack.

No I'm not bitter. I am just disappointed at the fact that we keep handing Al Shaitan propaganda victories because we can't get the basics right. If we don't hold people accountable, we are doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes.

@Um Sayala should tell us.

those who are pro-pull-out:remember garissa, most of you cried incompetence. The military deployed to close that door. since then, there have been ZERO attacks in kenya. but still you cry incompetence. The nterior ministry proposed a boundary demarcation (called a wall), most of you complained and cried...you guessed it,incompetence.(Google Jordan waklls with their neighbours to see how effective they are against what we are facing currently,google serbia's wall). One side we cry how we want equal distribution of government positions based on tribes not merit, other sides we cry distribute based on merit. When the current CBK governor (Opus Dei) was handed the job, guys cried tribe tribe. Now that he is seen to be working guys claim he was right for the job. We are our own worst enemies. So before you come here and embarrass yourself with a poor opinion of how things are broken and how yu are the only one who can see the same (e.g. why KQ didnt fly the Kenyan sevens team home yet they are their sponsors) first research then write/give your opinion, otherwise what you write ittatumika kufunga nyama na isahaulike.
Sorry for getting away from topic, but I leave you with this: UN has always delayed dues for soldiers in somalia, something that kibaki before and now uhuru have complained about,ati verification (google is your friend). Google also CDF Karangi in somalia to personally apologise to soldiers because the UN and AU failed them in terms of rations and ammo. Uhuru went to france, Germany. Mission: have AMISOM convert to a UN mission, complete with troops other than those who have manned somalia since AMISOM went in, or increase funding accordingly. some wazuans were here crying how kazi yake ni kutembea nje. present and previous governments have been fighting trench wars to admit kenya's air and naval assets into AMISOM, whereas the UN has refused numerous times (google the same). So who is incompetent now?(Remember the many observers who cry and scream everytime the airforce does its thing in somalia, or the navy sinks some skiffs in the ocean)

Honour that soldier out there pulling in a shift so that you sleep well, educate yourself accordingly with the issues at hand, then when you give your opinions, you are regarded to as smart and learned. I leave you with a video here, see the 'incompetence'...

Naive I'm not. Incompetent they are not. I initially intended to correct your misguided perception word for word, but wehen I read your statement in red I changed my mind.

For Kenyan Systems may not be perfect, Promotions May not be purely on merit( And I believe this is ok, there are many other factors, merit being among them)BUT I have chosen to get into the mud and try to correct whenever I can, Rather than make noise and curse how I would not work for the Govt.
If only the private sector did not condone corruption, if only YOU could do your part, May be the public sector could improve.
But for the gallant soldiers, to our brothers and sisters in Unifrorm, I Salute you. I know my freedom is hinged on your selfless blood. RIP the fallen heroes, you paid the ultimate price.
