Author:\u00a0Esther Dianah
\nAfricaPress-Kenya: President Kibaki left a stable economy. Where did President Uhuru Kenyatta go wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kibaki was not a novice. He had experience as a Cabinet minister and vice president. He had a lot of time to prepare to lead, especially the economy.<\/p>\n

Kibaki did not believe in enriching himself with public funds. He was satisfied with what he had. He was more interested in developing the country\u2019s economy, not stealing from it. He found an economy on its knees, set up structures, came up with Vision 2030 and initiated\u00a0public service reforms.<\/p>\n

He was an integral part in the making of\u00a0the new constitution. He got able administrators, then delegated jobs.\u00a0When Uhuru and his deputy William Ruto took over, they did not focus on the economy or Vision 2030.<\/p>\n

Uhuru wanted his own team and dropped experienced civil servants of the Kibaki administration. Then there were political problems that pitted Raila Odinga against the Jubilee government, with the 2018 handshake further causing more problems resulting into Jubilee A and B.<\/p>\n

The public debt escalated and much of the money that should be used for development is now diverted towards repaying debt. Corruption, Covid-19, the BBI and tussle over\u00a0revenue sharing formula have made things even worse.<\/p>\n

If you become president, what would you find so hard to correct after Uhuru\u2019s term?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t lead alone.\u00a0You need people who have the\u00a0best interest\u00a0of the country at heart.\u00a0I will prioritise devolution by ensuring more money is sent to the counties. I will work with elected leaders and enforce the rule of law to create an environment conducive for the fighting of corruption.<\/p>\n

I almost lost my seat fighting corruption in Makueni County. I will also insist that civil servants and other public service officers must declare their wealth and agree to leave office if found culpable in corruption. I will also initiate a programme that guarantees employment for the vulnerable.<\/p>\n

DP Ruto spoke of the \u2018system\u2019 and \u2018deep state\u2019 being against his presidential bid. How will you navigate through that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We ought to be careful about what we call the deep state because there is the State, which is provided for by the Constitution and is enshrined in the law. If you work outside that framework, that becomes illegal.<\/p>\n

Baptising wrongdoers as deep state is something I do not accept if or when I become president. The matter of deep state has been dramatised. It is wrong to propagate a narrative that there are people in the government system, who can\u2019t be touched by the law.<\/p>\n

There are several presidential hopefuls from Ukambani. That will divide the region\u2019s votes, and ruin your chances, don\u2019t you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kenya is a democracy. I am not asking anyone to step down for me. It\u2019s the people to weigh us and look at our agenda and make a decision. Presidential contenders should not be seen as enemies. I will ask the people of Ukambani for their blessings. I will then ask the people of Kenya for the same, because we are looking for a national president, not a tribal president.<\/p>\n

The so-called\u00a0dynasties have what people believe a candidate they have already settled on for the\u00a0presidency. If that is the case, how you plan to win against\u00a0a candidate with\u00a0unlimited resources?<\/strong><\/p>\n

But who is this candidate? Kenya is not a monarchy, and you cannot be elected to leadership position just because you come from a particular lineage. The question is not whether or not you are a dynasty, the question should be, am I able to convince Kenyans to elect me? Do I have solutions to their problems? That is my focus. I don\u2019t want to call them dynasties, however they have a right to go for the presidency, just not in the name of a\u00a0dynasty.<\/p>\n

Do you plan to raise money for your campaign from Kenyans. Isn\u2019t that a tall order?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. I will run with whatever I am offered, even if it\u2019s just Sh5. That\u2019s what\u00a0President Barack Obama of the United States did. He was not rich, but he was organised. It\u2019s the same way we were organised during the\u00a0making\u00a0of the Constitution. We were underdogs, we didn\u2019t have any money but we were\u00a0organised. If someone gives you Sh10, it means\u00a0you have their vote because they have invested in you.<\/p>\n

How will a Kivutha presidency look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the people and God will, it and it happens, there would be a different Kenya. I will do better than Kibaki, who was my mentor. He did very well, and that\u2019s my standard for Kenya. I have no interest in doing business with the government because I am not a businessperson. My work is to facilitate those who want to do clean business with the government.<\/p>\n

Makueni is a model county for other devolved governments. What did you learn about power from your position as governor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from my experiences in life, studies in theology taught me about servant leadership, how Christ was a servant leader. I knew that when you get in power, if you are not careful, you can easily be corrupted and transformed by power. You feel powerful and make decisions.<\/p>\n

I learned to let citizens be central in decision-making. Do not get comfortable because power can get to your head. I learned that anybody can misuse power and friends can mislead you. So when you are\u00a0in power, you should draw a line between social friendship and public government. Power can be of great benefit\u00a0if well exercised.<\/p>\n

How are you addressing rising\u00a0cases of teenage pregnancies in Makueni?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are trying to engage the young in productive work, as most are idle. Apart from Kazi Mtaani, there is also the Ajira initiative to get them into gainful employment. Makueni has a counselling department with free, youth-friendly centres, where youth go for advice on drug abuse and pregnancies.<\/p>\n

The deputy governor is actively involved in these programmes. The\u00a0Makueni\u00a0first lady, who is a counsellor by training, engages teenage girls and sex workers and counsels them.\u00a0But parental guidance is also important, as are teachers and religious leaders.<\/p>\n

You are a prolific writer and even\u00a0 penned plays like \u2018Kanzala\u2019 and \u2018This Famine is Great, Mother.\u2019 Why the long break?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was a teacher and as a teacher, you must research and write. I moved to civil society as a social activist and public intellectual. I\u00a0then got into politics and of course this demands so much of your time. I am currently working on an anthology of poetries in English and Kikamba, as well as a novel titled, Season of Sowing, which I started writing a long time ago.<\/p>\n

Which was your happiest moment of life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I held my first daughter at birth.\u00a0Women make the majority of voters. What is so hard for them to vote one of their own in elective positions?\u00a0It is because of\u00a0patriarchy,\u00a0a culture where men are dominant and\u00a0are the leaders.<\/p>\n

It is not true that women are their own enemy, that is just negative assumption. The problem is that\u00a0men have the resources and\u00a0women do not. Women also shy away from political violence during campaigns. Some husbands deny their wives freedom to go into politics. Some communities have not also fully accepted women as leaders.<\/p>\n

You have been a dean at the University of Nairobi, is there a student you can\u2019t forget?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are so many I still remember, because I was very close to them. I remember a friend, who is a writer with The Standard. He was a brilliant law student and would do other things other than law. He wanted to drop out. We had a connection because we were both creative.<\/p>\n

I persuaded him to finish the law degree and do whatever else he wanted. I struggled with him and ensured he attended lectures. He graduated, and now if I want my memoirs done, he will be among the first people I will approach.<\/p>\n

Why do you think Kenyans always vote for leaders who bring them tears?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because of lack of civic education and voting along\u00a0tribal lines. People need to vote for a vision, not where someone comes from.\u00a0What would be your advice to President Uhuru on legacy and retiring in peace after 2022?<\/p>\n

He should finalise his\u00a0Big 4 Agenda, intensify the\u00a0war on corruption, deepen youth issues and make the electoral environment fair by advocating for it. He should also mend fences with DP William Ruto so that he goes home as a friend of every politician.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
