Let’s be optimistic and wish our leaders well

Notwithstanding corruption allegations being levelled against the Jubilee administration, at least we need to give credit to the leadership of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto.

We as citizens need to play our crucial role of checking the excesses of the Executive without wholly demonising the Government.

It is indeed true that cases of graft have dented the Jubilee administration, but we need to look at the bigger picture. Even if they are not clean as they claim, their development agenda and party manifesto speak volumes.

The Jubilee government has scored well on the standard gauge railway and combating insecurity among other areas.

Reactions by Kenyans on social media shows their pessimism as most of them are quixotic.

The nation is moving in the right direction and one day, Kenya shall be a progressive democratic country.

The verbal diarrhoea on social media pollutes the minds of right-thinking Kenyans.

The pessimists can have their day but not their way. We need to be optimistic and wish our leaders well as they steer this nation to greater heights.
