Is sobriety too high a standard for our leaders to achieve?

When leaders make speeches or utterances that do nothing but breed bad blood between Kenyans, and then when they are called to account some leaders still have the audacity to defend them, then you surely know we have a big problem as a country.

Is it not possible for our leaders - both political and religious - to go about their referendum campaigns without making utterances that do little to inform but misinform and pit Kenyan communities against each other?

I believe when you got an idea/opinion to pass across, you don't have to make your case look so grave to win attention. Whereas such a move may win you some attention, the ultimate effect - more so when making your case grave entails maligning other entities - will surely be as disastrous as you can imagine.

Leaders who employ this kind of strategy are a total disgrace to us as Kenyans and at the least we need them to sober up.
