Is age of sonkorism here sooner than we thought?

In 2010, we published a story in this newspaper titled, “On Sonkorism and Sonkonomy.” We predicted the rise of Sonkorism and possibility that Kenya will become a sonkocracy. The chicken is almost home to roost.

Sonkorism is a phenomenon that closely resembles a religion or a movement. It is characterised by worship of money and riches and using it to gain political power. The source of money and wealth does not need to be explained. And the faster one gets the money the better. The more mysterious the source of money, the more sonkorism becomes popular.
