At a recent public forum I moderated in Meru town, a young man stood up to speak.
With measured intensity, he listed the grievances that have become all too familiar to Kenyans: soaring prices, unbearable cost of living, and healthcare system in shambles.
Then, he paused.
His voice tightened as he added, seething, "I will stop there because if I continue, I will be very angry." With that, he sat down.
