Towards a Meaningful Democracy in Kenya ​🇰🇪​

✅ The advent of Western democracy in Africa 🌍️ sustains a gradual disintegration and ➕ abolition of traditional institutions such as the council of elders. The system of governance in traditional African societies as carried out by the institution of the council of elders is not ❌️ devoid of democratic values and ➕ practices. In fact, members of the traditional council of elders are regarded as persons 🧑 of wisdom comparable with Platos Philosopher Kings 👑🧔. However, in contemporary times ⏱️, the practice of democracy is a difficult exercise - it is characterized by political problems such as incessant bickering, lack of consensus on national issues and ➕ hence, a total lack of focus on national development 👨‍💻️ agenda. The author examines the role that the council of elders in collaboration with the government can 🥫 play ▶️ in promoting political stability and ➕ economic development 👨‍💻️. This book 📚️ is a must-read 👤📖 for scholars, politicians, professionals and ➕ indeed the general public as it contextually addresses leadership challenges of our 👥⬅️ times ⏱️.
