A Zulu proverb goes: “If you are peeling groundnuts for a blind man, you must keep whistling so he knows you are not eating them.”

NASA co-principal Moses Wetang’ula and Health Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki were the blind man and woman this week. Kenyan lawmakers were peeling groundnuts for them. The politician and Cabinet Secretary must have kept their ears very close to the ground but all they could hear was huge silence from those they thought were looking out for their interests.
