Parable of the thief chasing after others over Lamu disputed land

African leaders, including Prezzo UK, sprinted to see our Cousin Barry when he summoned them over to Washington.

It called to mind a schoolboys’ dash when the schoolmaster calls them to attention. Cousin Barry left his secretary John Kerry to engage with the African presidents; all he did was  address the gathering and pose for photos. Which begs the question: who is calling the shots?

Without a doubt, Cousin Barry is playing catch-up. China has made inroads in Africa and it is only a question of when, not if, China will overtake America as the largest economy in the world.

But Cousin Barry still acted as though he is extending favours to his African guests. Here’s why: He has been voted the worst president in American history; Prezzo UK was voted the third-best president in sub-Saharan Africa.
But the two have something in common beyond their Kenyan heritage: they have both failed spectacularly to overcome challenges at home, with Prezzo UK’s latest test coming from Lamu.

He has revoked title deeds then ordered investigations. I thought the logical way to go about it is to investigate before ordering revocations. Which is why the most sensible comment for me during this week’s ruckus in Parliament came from Thika MP Alice Ng’ang’a. One does not cease to become a thief by calling others thieves.

That’s a fair comment from the fair lady. Meanwhile, Senator James Orengo is yet to explain how his office allocated 500,000 acres to 22 individuals and firms. That is the question he must answer.
