Kenya and Singapore started their journeys at the same time, but their destinies couldn’t be more different. Kenya had more land, more resources and more economic potential, yet Singapore is the one that rose. In this video, we break down the leadership choices that shaped both countries, how Jomo Kenyatta protected networks and corruption took root, while Lee Kuan Yew enforced discipline, built strong institutions and set Singapore on a path of growth. This is the honest conversation Kenya has avoided for decades , and it’s important now more than ever, as President Ruto continues to cite the “Singapore model.” Before we dream of becoming Singapore, we must understand why we didn’t become Singapore when we had the chance. #Kenya #Singapore #JomoKenyatta #LeeKuanYew #KenyaHistory #LeadershipMatters #AfricanPolitics #NationBuilding #CorruptionInKenya Support Our Work MPESA: +254 726 916 908 Or through PayBill: 4096889 Account Name: LNN Thank You
