Am I building soft power for Kenya? The action that will be taken against Okemo & Gichuru, will decide what pigeon hole the world puts us in, if we complain about being dis-respected its because of the actions we take on a day to day basis. This decisions will be made on round tables by people like me and you, I read the news of Samuel Wanjiru with allot of sadness, knowing that whatever the case is we scored some more bad points globally, losing all credit and more on soft power he had earned the country. Another thing is we cannot generalise this country and say the police are corrupt or Government is corrupt, no, its time to start letting everyone carry their burden, lets say its Sgt "Njoroge or wanjiru", its Chris Okemo or Samuel Gichuru who is corrupt and prosecute this people as individuals then we send a clear message both locally and globally. Forward thinking means we don't just think globally, we think galactically and act galactically. This video was a big inspiration to me last year. - http://www.samgichuru.com/you-soft-power-and-the-internet/ by Shashi Tharoor, a man who will win your heart and provoke you any day, Muraya your question on tribalism might be answered here. -- Warm Regards, ------------------------ Sam Gichuru twitter: | @samgichuru <http://twitter.com/samgichuru> Blog: | www.samgichuru.com Facebook: | Sam.gichuru <http://www.facebook.com/sam.gichuru> Skype: Sam.gichuru Cellphone: | +254-722-730565 Co-founder/ Director /Nailab Incubation Location: | Nairobi Website: | www.nailab.co.ke twitter: | @thenailab
