Inconsistency and political expediency drive the pulse of our national politics. Kenya’s politics is a mixture of deceit, mistrust, blackmail and blatant disregard for the rule of law, so much that it brings to life French Novelist Honore de Balzac’s contention “laws are spider webs through which the big flies pass and the little ones get caught”.
Events playing out in the political arena attest to this, making absolute nonsense of any avowed efforts to fight corruption. Increasingly, the onslaught on sleaze is becoming a charade.
