Dr. Ndemo,
You have captured very well the problem with us Kenyans. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge that we have very many people who are positive and are doing very good things for this country. But they are drowned by the bad elements amongst us. However, things will not change if we do not make a deliberate change intervention. According to me, it will be almost impossible to achieve V2030 with this attitude. We must change.I strongly believe that there is a 4th pillar that V2030 conceptualization missed - NATIONAL COHESION. It is what is required to move forward and fulfil the other plans. We could therefore argue that we need to sell Kenya to Kenyans before we go out to foreigners. Otherwise all the positive messages that will be put out there in selling Kenya to investors by whoever (assuming we can get this right in the first instance) will soon be negated by the bad attitudes that you speak of. And who said Kenya must be developed by outsiders?
I hope I have not sounded like a barking dog.

Catherine, some barking dogs are causing untold pain to our people. Hate against Kenyans in Tanzania is at its worst. Irrespective who you are, you are refered to as Mungiki who is after grabbing Tanzanian land. Whom do you think created this image for our people?
Mungiki is more of any economic crisis in our country but our Media has refused to link the two. We lack analytical depth in our media houses. What you read is petty fitina. When a media house purpots that "Cable lands into financial trouble" do you think such media has the interests of this country at heart? If they did they should have asked the right questions before publishing. I do not think they have a clue how such any article impacts the country negatively.
The audience of what is published locally is not only Kenyan people who read it. We must love our country and stop hoping that someone else will change our image. The sad part is that all of what has been read throughout the world are all lies. Some people reading this may never know that it was not true.
This what I meant to say that negativity will fail us and we should check every barking dog.
