They are gems for anyone interested in leadership and good management practices. It is my wish that one day I will have the opportunity to attend your classes - if any. My major concern as a young African, with all the education we have, is that our people are still backward and poor. It's like Educated Africans don't want to share their knowledge with their people and they prefer an illiterate populace so that they can remain envied. This has to change. Africa and Kenya in particular has the potential to develop like Singapore. This can only be achieved if we harness the human capital that we have instead of retreating to tribal cocoons when we feel that our tribe is under threat. Kenyan expats are doing their bit in Botswana and other African countries and what counts is their expertise. Why can't we as a country use our enormous human capital to build ourselves a modern and prosperous nation? Sunny,

Vote with heads not your hearts. Fellow Kenyans, sound leadership will make the whole difference between what we are now and that what we dream to be. Vote with heads not your hearts.

I would say that the fear of the unknown and the lack of courage to venture into new territories has a lot to play in this. You don't discover new land with old maps!!! Sunny

Good post. It is disheartening to see Kenya with all its natural resources lagging so far behind. Even more serious is fact that we seem not to be aware of the resources. Take the water that flows to the ocean via Tana and Athi for example. It passes though regions that have a lot of sunshine! Has anybody thought of how much hydrogen can be produced using this water and solar electricity? Any country that is not thinking of diversifying its energy sources is doomed. Hi Sunny.
