leasons from confirmation hearings

By Caleb Mutua

The on-going blame game at the confirmation of hearings at the Hague is nothing but last kicks of a dying horse.

Kenyans should learn to stop blaming others every time they find themselves in trouble and take full responsibility of their actions. If we refused to buy from hawkers, they would pack and leave bringing order in the city.

If Kenyans refused to bribe, the police would perform their duties diligently. If we refused to listen to greedy and malicious politicians, the government would deliver.

Just like the Hague six are deemed to lose if they don’t change tactics, Kenyans should be accountable for their deeds if they are to prosper.
