Second, they are fond of giving biased, non-researched and completely untruthful information that has no basis whatsoever. You try to engage someone about their source of information and they start abusing you! You give them the facts about what has been done and what has not been done, but they won’t change their opinions. They want to stick with hearsay.

Spot on.

@Conservative dude

Your Op-Ed is spot on and I couldn’t agree more.

Incidentally, it’s not a Kenyan thing; I think it’s an African thing. I say so because for the last one month I have been engaged in some research on how African, social media users perceive their institutions. The results are alarming, if not depressing.

Africans speak very ill of their institutions, even those that are trying.

First, they have zero appreciation. You build them a tarmac road and some will say the road is of poor quality; others will say that it’s a wastage of money and the road should have remained un-tarmacked; others will even say that the government should have given them the money for personal use! Mark you, these are people who had no tarmac road all their lives!

Sometimes you want to educate them and give them the real state of affairs, but it’s a lost battle! The level of ignorance is quite high.

I have noticed this. Someone comes up with a generic statement like “Matiang’i is a very corrupt minister”. Unamuuliza, what is your evidence? Anasema all ministers in KE are corrupt. Unashindwa na hiyo logic unajitoa…

Ebola occurs occasionally in the DRC, however few cases out of that country have been reported. The major exception was the West Africa outbreak between 2013 and 2016. The main contributing factors were awareness among medics and patients, traditional funeral practices, availability of medical facilities among others see https://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/one-year-report/factors/en/ for more information.

Why would Kenya, that has a modern research outfit that’s KEMRI, be unable to detect and contain such an epidemic? Most of the cultures that allowed home folks handling cardervars are almost dead.

It’s like a father who comes home without food and tells the kids how lucky they are that he is the most respected man in the village, or how expensive the clothing he is wearing is.

the problem ailing this country is guys from your generation with your know it all attitude.
Most of the government bureaucrats especially in upper level management are men in their late 50’s.
Stop blaming our generation, after all how we turn out is a reflection of you poor upbringing skills.
If at all you were that good in everything this country would be on the same level with the Asian tigers. You guys fucked up, no need to start bothering us from the comfort of your senior citizen dementia care homes…
90% of our youths are frustrated , expect the occasional flowery shit like 6% economic growth , 1M jobs created last year etc nothing tangible is coming through for them.
Be happy you guys created the boda boda economy where 60% of our youths are now boda boda riders .
