Is Kenya a Failed State?
Many Kenyans have been debating this question for some time now (see http://www.nation.co.ke/oped/Opinion/-/440808/621292/-/4luy4j/-/index.html). This is my initial take on the question. It should not worry us now that the US has declared our beloved republic a failed state. What should concern us is the leadership quagmire we are in at this point in history. It is a fact that our leaders are visionless. Secondly, no state can boast of its achievements if its citizens live under the shadow of Mungiki, ethnic cleansing, car jackers and night gangs. A state that cannot protect its own is to me a failed one.
