Why Kimunya might not survive

The former Finance Minister, Amos Kimunya, has been in the limelight over the alleged illegitimate sale of the former Grand Regency Hotel. As the then minister of the affected docket he should, of course, take responsibilities. However, has anyone paused to think why the MPs including his close allies are so over-zealous to ensure he is stripped off his ministerial post. I mean, several high-profile individuals have been implicated in various scandals. So why is Kimunya that different. Lawrence Kolhberg's, a renowned psychologist, might help us understand why!
Amos might be a personality of post-conventional moral understanding. Well, Kolhberg, will explain that as children transform into adults, they normally enter into a phase known as "conventional" stage. Therefore, they begin to think in terms of duty that will promote the greater good. Nonetheless, some do not develop as they should (in that respect) and become adults with the moral understanding of children. Worse, is that most people fail to achieve the "post-conventional" stage. Here, u need to invest your moral sense in higher principles like social welfare and reciprocity. For instance, a CEO might see fit to give employees medical benefits since it is right. However, the shareholders might not be pleased to loose a share of their profits, and just like Kimunya's case start to chant CEO 'must go'. It is unfortunate that the world today is characterized largely by conventional morality as opposed to post-conventional and Kenya is worst.

Kenya - The nation on the reciprocal

By Antony

It is baffling how Kenyans do things the other way round. I suggest that the country be put on spot on that matter in international news. Recently when fire broke at one of the largest supermarket store, citizens (mostly Kenyan native ) took to their heels to witness the event, oblivious of the potential dangerous events that might follow, and most of them going too close to obstruct rescue operations. Indeed, it is a strange behavior; a sound mind would be thinking about safety. Anyway, many strange things happen in Kenya.
On the night of Saturday 31st, when an oil tanker overturned in Molo (in Kenyan Rift Valley) a flock of residents scampered towards the tanker in search for the black gold. Unfortunately - and I must pause to mourn and apologize to bereaved families --- a fire explosion ensued killing several people, including young footballers at the site. One guy notes that Kenyan needs civic education more than the 5 days of mourning declared by the government. Indeed, that is necessary to avert such horrible occurrences, but also to learn legitimate ways of improving our lives through. There are several untapped opportunities, which leaders can guide the citizens on exploiting.
Some rumors reveal that at some point along the Machakos-Mombasa road, a river exists that flows against the gravity; what a good tourist attraction. I am yet to visit the spot. Elsewhere, it in a small village in Kenya that boasts of producing a man who has become The First Black President of the United State against all odds. Did you hear what a man his father was?
