Asked: June 4, 20202020-06-04T11:33:37+03:00 2020-06-04T11:33:37+03:00In: Politics and Governance

Why is Kenya still faced with leadership challenges despite all the years of bad governance?

  • 3

On Language and Development, A paper by Prof. Bodomo emphasizes on how central the African language is to African development.

While this is entirely true, the Kenyan politicians and most African politicians have mastered the art of using their vernacular to convince Kenyans that they are on the same side, during the campaigns, and then disappear on them after elections. It is a recurring narrative across Africa.

So what is it that keeps Kenyans making these bad leadership decisions despite the increased awareness of self-serving politics? Or is democracy entirely a delusion that will keep us thinking that we are electing our leaders when in reality, we are not?

    Our politicians simply use the old tricks. Divide and rule.Works all the time. And it will continue to until we the people say enough is enough. No more divisive politics along tribal lines. Until we’re ready to move forward like that, the “mtu wetu” mentality will continue to be used against us.

    Because good people don’t want to be involved with politics… AKA the dirty game.

    Tribalism is our biggest challenge. We have been taught to hate and judge other people based on their last name or place of birth. It is so bad that you cant even get some jobs or open. business in some parts of the country or even marry someone from a certain community.

    This negative culture is used by politicians to put people against each other and that is how they manage to maintain power in spite of not performing. People can not come together for a cause because they have already been divided along ethnic grounds.

    Basically according to the human nature humans tend to adapt to their environment.Newly elected kenyan leaders follow the steps of the former leaders who rule in an unfair manner all with an aim to benefit themselves.Change will come about when the current leaders change and begin to rule the people well.

    Because the poor leadership leads to poor education, which leads to poor thinking, which leads to poor people, which leads to poor decisions, which leads back to poor leaders elected and the cycle continues.

    We are in a trap and someone needs to break out so that we interrupt the cycle. Sadly, no one seems willing enough to go the extra mile.
