When a body politic enacts a set of laws it must make sure that it has institutions that facilitate adherence to these laws without directly using coercion.

For example, in the Torah, thou shall not commit adultery is supported by an institution like polygamy. In some of the Arab countries, stealing is accompanied by a cutting of limbs in a context of wide monetary social support.

Likewise this is a trend of well designed polities.

Now in Kenya, the injunction to follow the laws isn't supported by institutions that support the following of the rule of law.

Meaning that laws in Kenya and many other countries, are made to increase the number of people in the wrong, and therefore the power of the government using fear. For example, if due process is unaffordable, and slow, then the laws, no matter how high sounding, are rendered useless to the masses.

Such laws are therefore unjust and unconstitutional.

And because this is the status in Kenya, there's a huge fault line that will render the state dysfunctional.

The core of Kenyan politics is Darwinian in nature.

It's like the philosophies of Spencer and c. found an excellent lab when they created an artificial state.

The polity therein being mostly synthetic could afford a more rigorous form of programming that could leave the state being the ideal/textbook Leviathan.

But, the philosophy of Spencer is faulty. And not just faulty, but unnatural and unduly costly.

Neither do such philosophies enable freedom, in fact. Because the citizen-organism is and has to fight for the scarce commodity called 'survival'.

Kenya, doesn't even have philosophical legitimacy. It is rotten to the core.
