The erosion of moral values is the greatest challenge facing the country, according to legislator Beatrice Elachi who is advocating for entrenchment of accountability and integrity. she shares her views on ODM-UDA cooperation, education, teacher welfare and the two-thirds gender rule.
Kenyans are more informed than ever. Why do they still seem vulnerable to political manipulation?
Kenyans are informed, but we still struggle with a culture of individualism. Too often, we fall back on the mindset that if I benefit, then everything is fine. Once people achieve personal gain, they often abandon the broader agenda. That is one of our greatest challenges as a country. We rarely think about sustaining reforms for future generations. People can rally behind a cause for a few days, but once they secure individual benefits, commitment fades. We must move from individual gain to collective responsibility.
Did ODM abandon its founding principles by entering into a cooperation arrangement with UDA?
