Arap Sang,
If somebody has a job already and he can provide solutions to society in his current position, has he done enough to help the community? I think the problem is with our society, how we perceive leadership etc. Don't we see an unclear boundary between the definition of politicians and leaders? Because if the distinction were made, it would be clear that arap Sang is a leader right where he is and doesn't need to be a politician! Again, the society has a wrong rank of priorities. It seems that people think that when you succeed in one aspect they want you to be promoted to the next level, which to them is politics. Politics should not be the top job because it is dirty. The sad thing in our land these days is that we are bringing professors, businessmen, teachers, etc to contest politics. Because of their previous professions, some of us don't know how to deal with the abusive language that is in politics. In a short time they become irrelevant, and they cannot fit back into their former professions.
I wonder why some people who have had opportunities to for example provide scholarships to our people to study abroad only made it possible for their brothers and sisters. They didn't provide opportunities for the rest of society. One wonders why such people should seek elective office. Surely they didn't need to be MPs to help their siblings, certainly not to help the larger society!
Finally, it could also be that once people are elected they close out everybody else because they want to be the only 'jogoo of the village'. An elected leader should share responsibility with others, we need to be partners in development.
