As we reflect on the state of humanity in Kenya, it's clear that the country's social, political, and economic system is premised on dehumanisation. This is evident in the nation's inability to prioritise basic needs, such as housing, food, and education, leading to widespread suffering and inequality.
According to a recent article by Kingwa Kamencu, published on November 23, 2019, the nation's body is far from being ideal, with people going hungry and dying from famine, living in cardboard boxes in slums, and losing their minds over the economic conditions of the country.
The article highlights the need for a shift in the nation's priorities, with a focus on recognising and valuing humanity as a guiding principle. This would involve a coordinated effort between the government, NGOs, and churches to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and suffering.
As Kamencu notes, innovation is key to humanising the nation, and this could involve working with the entrepreneurship sector to provide sustainable solutions to the country's problems. With careful planning, 2020 could be a potentially good year for Kenya, but only if the nation prioritises humanity and takes concrete steps to address its deep-seated issues.
