Pigs haven’t made any demands

By Mugambi Nandi

A couple of days ago, sections of the media reported that the waheshimiwa in our National Assembly had meekly beaten a hasty retreat and accepted the peanuts offered by the stingy Ms Sarah Serem. The next day they reported that the waheshimiwa had triumphantly sprinted (their collective weight notwithstanding) to their respective banks, to draw their seven-figure salary, no doubt the reward for much labour and sweat in the service of the nation. Although I am yet to establish which of the two reports was accurate, the sudden calm and serenity around Parliamentary square, would seem to suggest that their battle with Mrs Serem was not in vain.
