Kenya is a fragile state crippled by tribalism, corruption, and ethno-terrorism, which have operated concertedly to erode the basic pillars of the state, besides gravitating it towards state failure. Lack of nationalism in Kenya (even Jomo Kenyatta was unsure of it), and politicization of Patriotism, largely owe their existence to a poorly informed public and a clique of political elite who have consistently endeavored to safeguard their blinkered interests from legitimate political competition; as well as the need of Partisan Interests to hold and utilize state power and privileges to suppress, manipulate, or malform Political Opposition, in addition to incapacitating the Intelligentsia.
