Salary tantrums for Kenyan Members of Parliament elicit resounding recall drumbeats

By Angela Ambitho

NAIROBI, KENYA: Once upon a time, monkeys ruled humans. As kings, the primates were domineering, cheeky, deceitful, greedy and outrightly incorrigible. Every year the humans gathered to complain bitterly about their jumpy leaders. But because they knew no better, they begrudgingly persevered until the day one of them pointed out that there was a way to oust the apes illuminating that humans had superior mental faculties. Initially, few were convinced; many couldn’t fathom a life free from their unreasonable rulers. But more people tested the superiority theory and realised the secret of their liberation lay in unlocking the mental blocks in the mind. Soon, all humans felt empowered enough to revolt against the Monkey Kings and were victorious.
