“Illusions”

I think if reincarnation is true, Harry Houdini must’ve reincarnated as a Kenyan politician. I mean, can these guys create smoke screens or what???!
Just think of any major graft story that has ever hit the headlines in Kenya and tell me of a satisfactory conclusion to it.
Goldenberg? Anglo leasing? Oil scandal? The budget error? Name it and I assure you that you’ll never find a satisfactory conclusion. The closest we came to a satisfactory conclusion was when Patni went vacationing in Kamiti.
But are our politicians and government entirely to blame? What about us as wananchi? What lengths do we go to in order to play our part? Other than the initial noise making, what else do we ever do? We even go to such pitiful heights as to glorify the offenders like they are some kind of heroes! I’ve heard not once people say what a cool, smooth and intelligent guy Kamlesh Pattni is. Seriously?? Do you have any idea how many steps back his scam took the country?
There is always a smoke screen moments after major scam surfaces. What happened to the initial Hague list scenario? The Mau forest thing came up? Before the Mau we had the maize scandal which came after the oil scandal. Recently we had the Ngong forest scandal which has been overshadowed by Ruto going to The Hague.
Here is some homework from me to you. Observe these whole Ruto going to the Hague thing and tell me if it’s the real deal or a smoke screen for something else or even better, see if you can pick the smoke screen that’s about to be created to cover Ruto and Hague. i.e., A thousand and one cases about Ruto being resurrected. Why now? To destroy Ruto’s career? Really? If Kenyan political history has taught me anything, it’s never what it seems!
