I miss Moi and Saitoti Duo.
Sisa mbaya, maisha mbaya.
Elect me president and i will shut down these vernercular stations. Hate being preached on mainstream media. Look at Moses Kurias latest post. SMH!
People have a way of painting a rosy past and getting nostalgic, but you do not want to go back to those days...
Maybe you could argue that we were 'safe' from tribalism, but the economic growth stagnated and we were set back by decades development-wise, a judicial system that didn't work, elections were a charade, public institutions that failed, and those who could not brave the torture chambers and the secret police could only look on helplessly.
Compound that with a rising population, and unemployment levels would be astronomic.
Even sites like this would be heavily regulated, or shut down whenever they posed a threat to the ruling class. There would be no
Zuku,
Faiba, etc, but only tightly regulated access to the Internet.
We have challenges. Democracy is a constant struggle, the most important thing is to ensure we're always making progress.
