AFRICA IS HELD RANSOM TO THE LEADERSHIP IT ACREDITS?

Arne Malo argues this in his coming lecture at the Café pan-Afrika. According to him: “The capacity to communicate a vision involves motivation and

inspiration. When leaders create an environment that inspires , motivates, and encourages passion among their people, they fulfill a fundamental function of society – namely the role of work as a source of creative human fulfillment.

“The most important quality of a good leader is character. It is this character that sets the tone in an organization or in the government. Clearly, the values, principles and standards which make up good governance and foster social responsibility start at the top. In fact, the values which provide the foundations for good governance – namely fairness, accountability, responsibility and trust – are intrinsic qualities of good leaders.”

EXCERPT FROM STOLEN PRESIDENCY:

poor remuneration of workers who live on starvation wages, lack of housing, which has created huge slums in urban areas, social frustrations, lack of clean drinking water, collapse of public infrastructure due to looting of the economy, corruption in high places, and a host of other vices that have ravaged the lives of millions of Kenyans, especially the youth who were defying live bullets fired by police in the streets in the name of change.

The December 2007 election was about the departure of President Mwai Kibaki and the gang of thieves that surrounded the President. Millions of voters who opted for ODM believed that once this economic terror gang was ousted from power, it would be possible to address ways of ending the root causes of the suffering of millions of Kenyans who have to go without food, drinking water and shelter above their heads on a daily basis.

The war between the rich and the poor is grounded on theft of public resources by those in power in the face of collapsing social services across the country and the lavish lifestyles led by the rich using money stolen from the poor taxpayer. Exploitation of Kenyans by local and international capitalists who have acquired every profitable enterprise in Kenya for themselves, corruption within the government by fat cats surrounding the President and the ruthlessness of the so-called “business community” are vices that ODM supporters in the streets expected to be addressed as they voted for the Party”.
