Leader vs. Politician

Politicians, are in my opinion the biggest and greatest actors of the world forget akina Tom Cruise and the likes, this guys have a knack of lying to your face and making you believe the hype, rhetoric and all that constitutes politics. That is the politician in everyone’s eyes.
Now imagine if we had a politician who stood in front of everyone and said what he or she meant and did what he or she said, utopia right, wrong. The standard of the average Kenyan expectation of the politician is as above, we always have people who we think would make good politicians, but in the back of our mind we are thinking huyu atakula tuu.
As a potential opinion maker for our generation I’m passing a request to all you aspiring politicians how about giving Kenyans a good deal, why can’t we expect you to make a change, create the new perspective of the politician, instead of using the word politician why not use the word leader instead.

This is also a challenge to the average mwanainchi, why should we not have high expectations of the people we elect to lead us, why should we not educate each other motivate each other into looking beyond the tribal lines, the blatant lies, the promises and kickbacks. Kenyans deserve better leaders than the crop of leaders we have seen, we need people who do not let our expectations down, we need to have people who are accountable to us as a nation, and not greedy people who are only there to amass as much wealth as they could before they fall out of political favor of the leading elite.
Why don’t we all explore the different things that we want in our leaders the kind of things that we would vote for, hopefully someone out there is reading this and would initiate the change we are looking forward to
