Most people who claim to be religious do not live by what they profess.
I actually can say that we are where we are because of a lack of strong belief. Kenyans, religious or not, just do not have values.
We vote for people who are like us. And that’s got nothing to do with religion.

Blaming religion for our political mistakes is such a typical African move. Let’s own up to our mistakes as voters, as leaders, as citizens. The biggest issue affecting us now is corruption followed closely by unemployment.
We either go out and create these jobs or continue pointing fingers to the clergy. We did the same thing hundreds of years ago to the traditional healers, now its the same script different cast.
Read this article on south africa and you will understand: Jacob Zuma is at the centre of a religious storm in South Africa after reportedly blaming the introduction Christianity in the 19th century for the continent’s current problems.

Religion is one of the root causes of political problems in Kenya. The church never talks about politics yet treats politicians like mini-gods.
