Few are made for independence; it's a privilege of the strong. And he who attempts it, having the completest right to it without being compelled to, thereby proves that he is probably not only strong but also daring to the point of recklessness.

Excerpt from @nyanchwani Man About Town - Why Some People Are Lonely Over Christmas.
"Kenya belongs to all of us" is a statement we should interrogate especially because most, if not all, of its defining resources are in the hands of foreigners. How can it belong to all of us while Hundreds of billions are shipped out of the country each year?
As we think of how Kenya will be in the next dispensation, let's always keep in mind that our independence is fake and that the resources that define our country are not in our hands
