        As a politician I challenge this. Citizens want easy answers to complex problems. Honest, thoughtful politicians who approach 1/3

        They are not. Question is who's to blame? Politician who espouses them or citizens who actually vote for the politician?

        as I see politicians on a continuum, I won't pass it along with your comment. I'll copy it and pass it along tho.

        problems with any level of complexity are told they are "boring". The whole world is adopting the American sound bite culture 2/3

        The issue is not complexity but logical reasoning

        The pols didn't fall from the sky: nurtured by the same soil. Problem is the citizenry. Too individualistic & self-centered

        We should insist they aim higher, and we must also be willing to do the same

        couldn't agree more especially in the Kenyan context we lack astute politics. We allowed the state of politics to deteriorate

        and that's how they drag development agendas with them together with their voters. No doubt
