As I stood in a traffic jam caused by construction, I couldn't help but think of the pyramids in Egypt, one of Africa's greatest achievements. Built over 3,000 years ago, they still hold secrets that scientists with modern technology cannot unravel.
President Uhuru Kenyatta's Big Four Agenda, announced in his second and final term in office, aims to reform, improve, and strengthen four vital areas of our daily lives. However, the question remains: how can it be possible to tackle them all simultaneously in such a short time period?
The answer lies in unity and collective effort, just like the Egyptians did when building the pyramids. The President understands this, as evident in his recent handshake with his 'eternal' rival and leader of the opposition, Raila Odinga.
The handshake's message was clear: we are putting past differences aside and working together to create a better Kenya. This vision extends beyond national borders, with the President entering agreements with countries like the United Kingdom and Switzerland to fight corruption and repatriate stolen funds.
Recently, the Non-Governmental Organisations Coordination Board agreed to align their activities with the government's goals of achieving the Big Four by 2022. This approval from NGOs, who are financially and ideologically independent, is a significant step towards achieving the President's vision.
As the writer comments on topical issues, it is clear that President Kenyatta's effort to reach out to other players is laudable, and it is essential for all Kenyans to work together to create a better future.
