About the Book

In Greek mythology, the Titan War or the Battle of the Titans was a 10-year old series of battles fought on Mount Olympus. The Titans, a powerful race of elder gods did not want to relinquish their limitless power to the Olympians, the younger generation. The fierce affair generated earthquakes on earth, the air burned, water boiled and even the sky groaned. In the end, the Olympians won. In America today a revolutionary "gray army" of older workers is fighting the youth- obsessed culture, to have their careers extended- the Gray Revolution.In Kenya's forthcoming General Election, the political duel predicted to be one of the fiercest and outcome most unpredictable has several big names for the presidential contest: Musalia Mudavadi, Kalonzo Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Gideon Moi. Then there are the two heavyweights. Raila Odinga, close to the status of octogenarian is still reluctant to exit the political stage even after multiple attempts to capture the presidency. Deputy President William Ruto 54, a political dynamite will be banking on his ten years' experience as second in command and a youthful generation that is yearning for change. And finally: The candidate retiring President Uhuru Kenyatta, a bigger giant, will be backing. Whichever way it goes, the result is expected to impact significantly on the political and economic landscape in Kenya.Legendary American novelist Earnest Hemingway described Kenya as "unknowable, unimaginable, unbelievable." Despite being relatively small in size and young in age, the nation is one of many "first", abundantly blessed. From Princess Elizabeth Alexandra's promotion to Queen Elizabeth II February 1952 while on a visit to the country, Archbishop Justin Welby discovering God while a teacher in the country 1974, thereby starting an 18-year-old journey to becoming the 105th leader of Anglicans worldwide, America getting its first ever African-American president of Kenyan ancestry in Barack Obama January 2009, Eliud Kipchoge making history October 2019 as the first human to complete marathon in under two hours, the annual wildebeest migration in Maasai Mara presenting the world's greatest mammalian phenomenon - the list is long and impressive.Kenya is an economic powerhouse in East and Central Africa. In global matters, Nairobi is home to the United Nations headquarters in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere in addition to hosting the largest concentration of UN-related organizations and NGOs. Foreign governments and multinationals have invested billions in this part of the world. Nairobi also hosts the second largest European Union foreign mission after London. A share of the Kenyan cake is simply irresistible. Literary speaking, half of planet Earth is run from the Kenyan capital.Yet one big question persists. Why has Kenya, translated in Hebrew as "God's Nest", endowed with infinite possibilities everywhere, remained a Third World country for nearly 60 years since independence, oftentimes scoring poorly in most international ranking indexes? The answer: The gods are not to blame; nothing is the matter with its people, land, climate or anything else. Bad political leadership is to blame.World citizens, governments, development partners, investors and tourists take great interest on the political leadership of a country. The international community as well as citizens would wish for a stable, peaceful and prosperous brand Kenya. The world is keenly watching Kenya as it heads to electing its fifth President on August 2022. This book takes the reader deep into the country's political history: Yesterday, today and tomorrow. As the world races to beat the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) deadline 2030, Kenya's new leadership shall determine how fast the country meets the goals.
