Kenya’s political class understands that it deals with a docile nincompoop population. It knows there are those who will unquestioningly swallow its propaganda. That the African people called Kenyans are incapable of questioning anything the master says. For, they belong to soft-brained ethnic political fan clubs.

Members of such clubs have no minds. They have surrendered to the politicians their right and capacity to think. Accordingly, they have been zombified into tribal sheep. They can only bleat, “Four legs good, two legs bad.” In everything, they only sheepishly bleat, “Comrade Napoleon is always right.” This is regardless that Comrade Napoleon is President Uhuru Kenyatta, or CORD leader Raila Odinga. The citizen is a ready mongoloid in submissive ethnic tow.
