kenyans never learn

learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior, thoughts or feelings as a result of experience. It allows us to:
Use past experience to predict the future,to adapt to a rapidly changing environment and to exert control over our environment.

Why do i say kenyans never learn?We never change from what we did in the past without achieving any real success. learning allows us to use our past experience to predict the future.We vote the guys we voted in 1960s back and expect change. We dont get it but we insist on voting them back yet,it  if we learnt we could predict the future after seeing what the leaders did in the past.

Learning has several steps. The last one and the most important is Application/transfer. This is where you transfer/apply what you have learnt to a real life situation that is similar to what you learnt. We have learnt that politicians only care for their own stomachs and comfort. We have learnt that HIV kills and how it is spread.Yet we trust the politicians and keep getting new infections. This is because we do not transform knowledge into actions. When you learn that the way best to wipe your bottom is the use of a soft tissue paper, you never use a sand paper. We know what should be done but we never do it.We blame the government if a young girl gives birth and dumps the baby in a long drop pit latrine...we can keep up this blame game and never act on the knowledge we have. We seem to never act from a point of knowledge,rather we seem to trash the knowledge we have and act againist it. Someone said that madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.I disagree. It is failure to learn.

Or kenyans can wake up,smell the rot that is our country and act accordingly. Remove the rot!!Or we can wait for Obama to state the obvious then critisize him,wait for Ocampo to sue our wrong doers or simply resign,lift our shoulders and let them drop and move on...or simply wait to die and hope things are better in heaven.When will this complacency leave the Kenyan psyche?when will we ask for things to be done right and do the right things the right way?????We can blame God, Kibaki, Raila,Moi or kenyatta...but forget that the common mwananchi is the main culprit. We need to change and change wont be served to us by our leaders...we the people must be the ones changing....then and only then will we see change in Kenya. Believe as it is true.
