One of the tragedies of our current political situation is that it is a major distraction from the urgent need to improve the material conditions of Kenyans.
All indicators show that we have stagnated as a society.
For example, after substantial improvements since around 2000, the trend in life expectancy has essentially remained flat over the last decade. As a result, life expectancy in a peer country like Tanzania is now almost 5 years longer than in Kenya (62 vs 66.8).
Real incomes (that is, earnings controlling for inflation) are lower today than in 2005.
