Failure to align promises with reality hurts Kenya Kwanza's credibility

The car ‘Kenya Kwanza’ has been misfiring on all four cylinders, leaking oil through the tail pipe and pumping the atmosphere full of carbon dioxide. 

It baffles because in 2022, Kenya Kwanza presented itself as a pimped up six-cylinder super car that would thrill us to no end with its power and performance. Kenyans got the antithesis instead. 

The most critical sectors of our economy, education and health are limping, latching from one crisis to another. Meanwhile, a bewildered, obviously overwhelmed government has been buying time by committing itself to binding agreements it knows it lacks capacity to follow through.
