No grace period even, straight to nepotism and tribal appointments.
Just goes to show African states are rotting corpses left over from colonialism and not real nation states. There is no sense of shared identity or destiny. Just a hodge-podge of ethnic groups in deadly competition for resources and power. The real locus of one's loyalty is the tribe. Surprised the so called watalamu don't talk about this crucial topic, instead they fixate on useless corruption and other meaningless manenos which are mere symptoms of a bad system. Corruption, nepotism, and police brutality are the automatic byproducts of the artificial colonial legacy states we were bequeathed by the colonists.
The Swiss canton system with its high degree of autonomy would be perfect for African states with their large ethnic diversities. But goodwill and common sense are not mwafrika traits.
