Kenyans have always been good people-polite and respectful. As Africans, our old-school mothers taught us the values of good morals. This upbringing demanded politeness and respect for elders and peers. Any hint of impoliteness was met with severe consequences. Teachers were part of the community, and parenting was a shared responsibility.

They say change is as good as a rest. However, not all changes bring meaningful rest. As a people and as a nation, we seem to be changing for the worse. It is time we go back to the drawing board and address the moral decay in our country.
