Something is better than nothing!
Safari moja huanzisha nyingine!
The most frustrating argument I have heard is "something is better than nothing". This might sound nice, but it is a logical fallacy. As Kofi Annan once said that it is better to have no outcome than a bad outcome which holds back action and takes years to unravel and reconstruct. We have reached a point of framing our minds that changing ministers will improve the situation.
The "something is better than nothing" line is exactly the same kind of logical fallacy "to act or not to act". It sounds nice, but it is easy to think of plenty of examples when doing ‘something' is clearly not better than refusing to do what is offered and instead continuing to work towards kind of action we all know we need.
Wake up you people.
