Our people are vigorous, open to new ideas, risk takers, travelling within and outside our borders for greener pastures, trade and commerce. Unfortunately, our political leaders’ panacea for inequality, bad governance and corruption is often dictated and influenced by the West. As I told a friend recently, Kenyans, like me, in their 30s and 40s, can reshape the trajectory of the nation with more action and less talk. We whine incessantly about bad governance but never attend the next neighbourhood meeting. I admit that Kenya is faced with insurmountable challenges but refuse to believe that we lack a home-grown solution for them.
