Kenya as a country seems to lack a unifying vision. We seem only to be driven with the motivation of living by the day or becoming rich for some. However, as a country, it is important to brand ourselves.
Stating what is required of Kenya as a country is easy, however, coming up with a dream for the country is not easy even though it should be.
The dream of nearly all Kenyans is putting food on the table, even for the rich, they just want to get rich and richer.
Many Kenyans have been bread on the notion that the most important thing is going to school, attaining a degree, getting a job and everything will run smoothly from then onwards. that never happens.
Currently, Kenya is a developing country. In my opinion bad leadership and corruption is the leading issue that drags the country from prospering.
Due to bad leadership and corruption, upward mobility for everyone is not possible. Even though America also has a dream that is well defined, achieving upward mobility still proves challenging for Americans.
The American Dream
The American dream is the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or what class they were born into, can attain their own version of success in a society in which upward mobility is possible for everyone. The American dream is believed to be achieved through sacrifice, risk-taking, and hard work, rather than by chance.
The Kenyan Dream
“The Kenyan Dream” is still a dream to many. However, building a vision starts with examining the gaps and major challenges being experienced. From the outlook of things, eliminating corruption and poor leadership can be the root to ending the economic disaster currently experienced in the nation.
Therefore, I think it is proper to suggest that the dream of every Kenyan is seeing good leadership in place. Presence of good leadership in the country will alleviate all the other challenges being experienced inclusive of corruption.
It is thus important for every Kenyan to vote wisely and elect leaders with moral codes and an outstanding track record.
I therefore urge all Kenyan citizens 18 years and above to register as voters and make a change come the oncoming elections.
