Do Kenyans forget too easily?

Today on 254 in Europe, we get into a bigger conversation about government accountability, celebrity influence and how quickly Kenya sometimes moves from one major controversy to the next.

When celebrities and content creators publicly celebrate what they believe the government is doing right, should people expect them to bring that SAME ENERGY when they believe the government gets something wrong?

Or are we putting responsibilities on entertainers that they never signed up for?

We also ask whether Kenyans have a problem with political memory.

A major issue happens. Social media explodes. Everyone is talking about it. Then another story arrives, attention moves on — and the previous issue slowly disappears from the conversation.

Are we actually forgetting?

Or are Kenyans simply dealing with so many issues that yesterday's controversy is quickly replaced by today's?

And what does that mean for holding leaders accountable over an entire term rather than reacting only to what is happening right now?

Towards the end, we also touch on the recent Eddie Butita and Rapcha the Sayantist online exchange and how it connects to the wider conversation about celebrities, government, influence and criticism.

This isn't about telling anyone what political position to take.

It's a conversation about consistency.

If you publicly celebrate the good, should you also be willing to talk about the bad?

And as citizens, how do we make sure important issues aren't forgotten simply because the internet has moved on?

🇰🇪 We want to hear YOUR perspective.

Do Kenyans forget too easily?

And should celebrities who publicly praise government also be expected to criticize it when they believe it gets something wrong?
