Disability is not Inability

:: What sacrifices are involved?

Sacrifices are the blood shed by leaders in an effort to whip the nation to where we need to go. Leaders must shed their blood. This is figurative for heavens sake. But shedding the blood means building character that would enable the leader to forego the temptations that plague the country. This is the process that gives birth to the servant of the people who makes not self interest motivated decision…

Should we give up EAC so that we can have COMESA? For in every sacrifice targets a better good. Should i sell the car to take of the extended family now that....

There are those who do not support the current effort to rebuild the East African community specifically because of the approach our leaders are giving it. We need to take such decisions to the citizens of the three states before the Presidents sit and decide.

Secondly my myopic thinking sees the community’s as an little fish whose cooking may not satisfy the needs of the population. We may not realize the benefits quick enough to make the efforts worthy. Africa needs outgrow the worship of colonial boundaries if we are to make a leaping “catch up” with the rest of the world.

As Kenya, we should be more serious with building COMESA than bother with the East African community. The cost benefits don’t add up. Its too costly to work out an east African community verses the benefits we would derive from it. Working hard should be on Comesa that can give the benefits of dealing with security regional issues in the great lakes…

Some would say the East African is a good stepping stone to Comesa. That’s the kind of sacrifices we are talking about. Kenya should be more worried about a Somalia government joining Comesa, than Tanzania. Such sacrifices are the pragmatic necessities of leadership.
