I revisit this matter (And it remains a hundred times more important to me than the kind of ‘kennel logic’ where I begin by vomiting my total agreement with the other person’s position, the irrelevance of it gets smeared on hardworking Kenyan historians, and then, without my really knowing it, I lean on a body of evidence as wound-ridden as Lazarus’ to lap back my argument).

My genuine fear is that nothing short of government intervention will end the painful injustice going on in Kenya’s publishing industry. Including music, but that’s a story for another day.
