After five decades of independence, Kenya’s leadership has not come of age.

With the high levels of unemployment, insecurity and dilapidated infrastructure, it is high time that those in positions of influence did something to reverse the trend.

We are tired of lip-service and demand that leaders fulfill the electoral pledges they made to Kenyans.

Citizens are wallowing in poverty and the best our leaders can do is get to the podium and play blames at each other not to mention the continuous bid to pressure the Government to increase their perks.
At times, it puzzles me to see respectable people in authority fighting each other in public yet ordinary mwananchi cannot afford the essential services entitled to then.

Kenyans should hold their leaders accountable for their excessive luxury.
