In this week that the Moslem and Christian faithful embark on fasting to mark Ramadhan and Lent, respectively, I will be gentle and refrain from calling any politician a liar or a thief—even when it’s manifestly clear that’s what they are.
For now, I will steer clear of the Auditor General’s wide-ranging disclosures that exposed the liars and thieves in government. Rather, I will accept Prezzo Bill Ruto’s response that the audits are the handiwork of “cartels” who are hell-bent on discrediting his efforts in making Kenya great again.
He did not clarify if the said cartels are inside the government or outside and, in this season of goodwill, I will offer no further commentary about Prezzo Ruto’s previous commitment to get to the bottom of the spectre of “State capture” that such cabals hide under.
