Dive deep into the complex and often challenging landscape of leadership issues in Kenya. This podcast unravels the intricacies of power, corruption, and the fight for justice, using real-world events as case studies. We explore incidents that highlight systemic governance failures, such as the compelling revelations from Nairobi where young men were allegedly hired by politicians to violently disrupt peaceful protests, seemingly with the blessings of security agencies linked with the police.
We investigate the pressing questions that arise from such events: Whose goons were they? Who hired them? And at what price? The podcast critically examines the reported police protection enjoyed by these goons and the subsequent lack of arrests, charges, or questioning regarding the supply of weapons or coordination, despite public calls for accountability, including the demand for the resignation of Deputy Inspector General Eliud Lagat. We also shed light on the exploitation faced by some of these individuals, who complained they were shortchanged and never received the payments promised for sabotaging the protests.
Unseen Hands: Kenya's Leadership Accountability seeks to understand the broader implications of these events for governance, transparency, and the rule of law, offering an insightful look into the true cost of leadership failures in Kenya.
