Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has proposed that Kenya should turn to science for a lasting solution to widespread political malpractices. Dr Mutua said on Friday that this could be the radical move to end the country's "political rot". “I urge our institutions of higher learning to undertake psychological, behavioural and scientific political research to understand what is wrong with some politicians and come up with a solution,” he said. SYCOPHANCYDr Mutua said it is worrying that some politicians are pushing an agenda of sycophancy and polarisation that is not helping to solve Kenya's problems. “A medical and scientific solution - a panacea - needs to be found because all is not well," he said.
