I agree with Atwoli, IN PRINCIPLE. But he's talking of the natural progression of society, the young work and gain experience, and become leaders based on that experience. And Kenya is NOT a normal society. The British messed that up. As @TedQuinton said, in 1963, the 27 year olds straight out of school, who should have been starting work, were becoming leaders in 1963 by virtue of their certificates. Not only were they young, inexperienced and clueless; they were looking at least 20 years in office before retirement. So they were never real youth, meaning people who learned through WORK. They never matured, and imperialism was very effective in seducing them with consumerism and power as the equivalent of leadership. So they didn't build institutions I'm which they could graduate to elders and invite the young to nurture them so that they grow through work. That's why our elites are perpetually young. They never grew up. The British messed us up, big time. The messed up natural progression of growth, maturity and hand over. I asked @Wordslinger__ that when Naboisho Institute is ready, to please find me young Kenyans who want to be mentored as academics outside the university. People who are willing to commit years to learning. It takes years to get where I am, but Kenyan post graduate students don't care to learn the work. They want papers. So we babysit them to produce a decent document and then go. I am going to retire without mentoring a single student, in the real sense of the word. Passing them, I've done. Mentoring them? Nope. The few students that I tried with said I was controlling them. Maybe because in their view, I'm not a leader. Nikaacha na hiyo stori.

Edwin Sifuna: Ubaya wa kuwa candidate wa urais ni siwezi ongea vile nilikuwa naongea

IT'S YOUR PERFUME. I've seen this many times. A foreigner or in this case a black person goes to China or East Asia, and they are greeted with covered noses and mouths. They think to themselves, I smell good, I applied perfume before leaving, why are they doing this? This must be racism. Chinese and East Asians do not have body odor, ~95% of us carry a variant in the ABCC11 gene causing us to produce no smell after sweating. You can't even find deodorants supermarkets in China, people just don't need it. So our sense of smell is not used to strong perfumes, and when you enter a confined space with your perfume, people literally find the smell stinging our noses.

There’s not a single timeline in any version of reality where 57 women would ever sit around and let a human being get tortured and raped for 7 hours just fyi

Sifuna doesn't always know to dress for different occasions Na huyu ndio mnataka akuwe rais?

Gullible Kenyans
