AT LEAST RAILA ODINGA TRIED JUST AS ANY LEADER WOULD FOR HIS PEOPLE.

Eti "sisi hatuna shinda", meaning that him and his family hawana shinda and they do not care how many families depend economically on the sale and export of that crop. Eti "we will get miraa buyers and chewers from humu humu"...will he order employers to buy miraa for their employees just like he directed companies (after telling tourists to pack and go) to the send their workers on compulsory tourism vacations to fill the empty hotels and parks as reflected in his recent tourism master plan? NO PLAN, NO INTERJECTION, NOT TRY, NO SOLUTION! THIS GUY MUST GO HOME FOR KENYA'S ECONOMY TO BE STABLE.

And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
