Tribute: How Kibaki's bigger picture legacy separates him from the rest

 Legacy is complicated. It is never manufactured ahead of the event. It is not about visible “hardware” achievements.

It must be felt by the everyday Kenyan who deserves “software” change in the long-term. The whole point of leading a nation is to make it better, not shinier.

 Every single current standard of living issue that Kenyans face today (maize, milk, petrol, cooking gas and everything else that contributes to family and household sustenance) is the end result of politics that disdains formal rules and prefers the informality of “wink-wink” deals.
