Churches are now a politician's playground

Being a Sunday, I shall touch on something religious. I was driving from Nakuru to Ol Kalou – 30km at most - and as a passenger, I decided to count the number of churches along the way.

That stretch had 26 church billboards. The ones I managed to count. That’s a lot of churches. At the same time, I counted four schools. And not a single public hospital. Not anywhere on the road.
