It’s easy to point an accusing finger at political dynasties or communities from which Kenyan presidents have come, for the troubles we face, but the buck stops with the voters. People castigate politicians on and off social media to look cool or woke and retreat to their ethnic cocoons when the power of the ballot is badly needed. Those waxing lyrical about how political dynasties have presided over Kenya’s economic meltdown have aided in the flourishing of the dynastic families. This country will not transform on account of hypocrisy, but on calling the spade of tribalism with its true name. Sugarcoating issues and hiding on social media must stop.
