Would you consider living/working outside Kenya if presented with a phenomenal opportunity ( and for how long)?
Of course! But not indefinitely
Any place more appealing than others?
Somewhere with a beach. Like The Bahamas

Having Identified the electorate as the problem, what leadership style would you think would get the ‘assified fossils’ working?
If they were forced to account for everything they did, and all the decisions they made things might turn out differently.
What can we do to ensure a smooth changeover from the ‘assified fossils’, besides waiting for nature to take them from their seats?
The youth taking an active interest in leadership and politics. Right now there is a vacuum precisely because of this.
If you were the presidential adviser, how would you differentiate the government for political and economic prosperity – besides cleaning out the fossils?
Professionalism. Government should be run like a company, with the ethic of the company. Realizing that decisions have repercussions and ramifications. That resources that are spent come from somewhere, and must be accounted for. That officers exercising their duties must deliver results, and be accountable for each of their actions.
