    Hi Ibekwe,

    Nice ideas you have for your country. We also try to pass fresh ideas to our leaders here in Kenya but they just never listen. Kenyans sometimes just talk and talk but the leaders don’t listen!

    But with the recent fighting after the general elections, something has changed in the Kenyan people. They’re so much more demanding and the leaders are getting ashamed of themselves for corruption. Just recently a finance minister resigned after a scandalous sale of public property. And now two more ministers are on the spot.

    We the population are loving it!

    Thanks for visiting my site.
