WHY DR. WILLY MUTUNGA IS RIGHT ON A BANDIT SOCIETY


Day by day Kenya is sequentially undergoing metamorphosis to adapt to an Island that could probably be well described by Tony Cruise in some of his literature work. Despite the efforts by few Kenyans to sanctify the peak of the tower to appear to the world as well as viewers as clean, there are few dwellers found at the base who continue with the combustion of this tower forcing the smoke to emerge despite the cleansing at the peak.

It is recently that the chief Justice was on world news, including BBC Swahili for describing us as a bandit economy. Though the reception of these words was not warm enough at home, it was apparent that there was some truth in it. Mike Sonko. once warned politicians on yapping about everything that Raila came out to say.

Peter Kenneth once said there was some truth in everything that someone says including Raila. The time is proving these sentiments to be right. The scandals that have been rumors at one point after a matter of time turn out to be the truth of the society. It is less than a month when Duale treated us to theatrics with a bunch of MPs with a series of press statements defending Waiguru.

The press statements sanctified the NYS scandal suspects with intention to counter the the powerful statements from the opposition. It is recently again that the same Aden Duale came publicly to another press release, though this time with no "tyranny of numbers", to tell us how Ann Waiguru should pay the public money.

Before the storm calms down, H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta all the way from Israel reminded us that as Kenyans we are best experienced in stealing, hatred, tribalism and other myriad of vices. So exactly, what is the fabric of our society? Who are we?

By the way, is it by coincidence that top URP officials are always implicated in the corruption scandals mentioned in government? Is it by chance? why does it seem like the ruling coalition is between two faces of a coin. A corrupt face, and a holy side.

To make it simple, Leaders have at last agreed with what Mutunga said. Ours is a bandit economy. Who shall salvage this economy?

I rest my case.
