To credit the majority of Kenyan voters with elective intelligence is to be overly polite. This is because they have developed a warped sense of logic that over the years has seen them acquire a preference for political chaff over wheat. This happens to be a product of a political system designed to keep the masses in poverty, effectively turning them into manipulable voting machines.

Every five years we go through the motions of campaigns, ostensibly to get the best leaders from an array of individuals who peddle lies with such ease it is not a wonder they fool quite a number into casting their votes for them. Every year we decry chicanery in leadership, but still end up electing the same con artists.
