    "content": "We have very huge potential, both at the national and county governments, but we must create mechanisms within which we can fight corruption by making the officers accountable. We must also train and build the capacity of our people for them to be in a position to complain. Capacity building will not just be for the elected leaders, but also the general public. We should have civic education as it was before we introduced public participation. It is something that we need to ask ourselves, as a country, if we need to go back there or should we introduce it in our curriculum from the early childhood education for it to be ingrained in our children. If we do that, it will become part of our culture. We know that this country has a huge potential. We know that the richness and the diversity of every county, if well managed, can be a major contributor to the economic growth of this country. However, most of the times, we find ourselves engrossed in petty politics. We forget that our diversity is what makes this country as beautiful as it is and it is what makes it very rich. We forget that our cultural difference could be the richness that we need to ensure that we become a stronger community."
