Kenya's real enemies are now coming out of their hiding holes

Nobody beats the Kenyan politician for being insensate. These are individuals who use funerals to articulate their insecurities and drum up support for their selfish causes, and so it was at the burial of the late Member of Parliament for Baringo South a week ago. You would have thought that the children and close family members of Grace Kapchoin needed solace, particularly at that last moment when they knew with certainty they were never going to see her again.

At that most profound moment of sadness, they did not need to be bombarded with the inanities that flew with reckless abandon. It was shameful, painful, embarrassing and sad to watch feckless masqueraders to the leadership mantle parade their pedestrian philosophies and deceit packaged as unwavering support, and even volunteer a guarantee of millions of votes for Deputy President William Ruto's 2022 presidential bid.
