Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has said that Kenya needs leaders who focus on the future and not the past.
Speaking on Saturday at Mama Lucy Wanjiru Muhinga’s burial service at Kipipiri, Nyandarua’s Foothills School, Uhuru warned that politicians who live in the past will not advance their nation.
He emphasized that visionary leaders are the only ones who can address the problems facing Kenyans.
The former head of state sent his best wishes to people holding various leadership roles at the moment.
“Kenya is home. We wish those who are there well but when I was in leadership I used to tell people one thing, if you are a leader you have been given a steering wheel to drive if it is Nyandarua County, if it is this constituency, if it is Kenya or anywhere. A good leader holds the steering wheel and looks ahead, not every time looking at the rearview to see where they have come from,” Uhuru said.
“You look ahead. If you are a person driving a car looking at the rearview, you are a person who drives the car into a ditch. You are going nowhere. You are taking the country nowhere. The country needs leaders who have vision because that is what will be useful to solve the problems Kenyans are facing,” Uhuru said.

A number of Kenya Kwanza administration officials have been attributing Kenya’s present economic woes to the previous government.
The administration of President William Ruto has frequently attributed the current economic difficulties to the previous government since taking office.
However, Uhuru has since told the Kenya Kwanza government not to blame his administration for their failures.
Uhuru said the current government should address the problems facing Kenyans instead of heaping everything on the past regime.
“Every time one is unable to do what he should do they blame the past government, [with this trend] even if the wife has refused to give birth it will be blamed on us, but we are used to this,” Uhuru said.
