…but hii kesi ni serkali iko in charge. Pesa inatumika vibaya yet kuna mambo ya maana ya kufanya nazo. Education, hospitals, good roads ni kazi ya serkali. Wanatumia tax yetu kula starehe.
This is a global phenomenon driven by meritocracy and the emergent structural inequalities embedded in societal systems as explained in this clip. In developed nations, elite institutions like Ivy League schools create an exclusive pipeline for the privileged and ensure the cycle of wealth and influence continues.
In developing countries like ours, the effects are even more pronounced due to rampant corruption and weak economies which make good quality education an unattainable luxury for most
The result is a self-reinforcing loop where only the elite can afford the best education which overwhelmingly boost the chances of their children getting top jobs while the majority remain trapped in greatly underfunded and neglected public schools
Yet ugly shapeless politicians move around, proudly leading a nation with such schools… Vichwa mbovu hao
