Years back on Fridays, KBC radio announced harambees for schools and other development projects. Ministers were often the chief guests. Every week, the President and the vice-president presided over harambees, with millions of shillings being splashed in those meetings.
No one questioned where this money came from. In short, Kenyans were captives of the State. They were told to ‘tingisha kidole’ and they could do it without question. The second finger on the right hand was always ready to ‘tingisha’ whenever the President or any of the Kanu stalwarts came to your region.
