The current government may be a flop, but running to another option who by the way hasn't offered any solutions is a joke. You were doing better by abstaining to vote, @alma.

this is one of those dumb statements i come across and i always wonder whether people just regurgitate stuff they have heard or been told. how would you expect them to offer solutions when they are not in government? by starting their own police force for example? or having a second government?


@Mkenyan, agreed. I have come to believe most people who try hard to advance @tycho's reasoning are usually tribal apologists struggling to excuse the inexcusable. Only the government has the instruments and resources to fight corruption and offer solutions to other existing ills. All others are really extraneous and their contribution or lack of it has only minimal weight.

Good commentary here

If President Kenyatta one morning went to Pumwani Maternity Hospital, sat down in a ward, sacked incompetent and corrupt workers, and said he was not leaving until the place was crisped up, he would set off a revolution.


I don't think having a rambo type president is a good thing, because the same people cheering on magufuli will very soon be calling him a dictator, just as they are doing to Kagame.

But honestly if as a president you can not find someone in your team capable of cleaning up streets and running maternity hospitals you are not cut for the presidency and you are just dragging the country back.

@nakujua, do you remember the "dictator" Lee Kwan Yew? and of course now kagame. The achievements speak for themselves. Most probably some level of dictatorship is required to accomplish some things. I doubt the war on corruption in Kenya will ever be won without a "rambo type" figure, whether president or other key personality..

I'd not like to struggle to prove a point when it can prove itself, but let me remind 'us' what 'government' means.

1. It's a system of control and

2. A set of individuals not an individual, exercising executive authority.

Some are mentioning lee, Kagame, Martha, Uhuru and the like... and I'm thinking, what a way for missing the point! An individual is so bounded in capacity that even taking care of himself is a sweat!

Of course some will now bring up propaganda news of how so and so did well and the like, and I wish to concede so that I can do some work . . .
