The late Chinua Achebe in his book Things Fall Apart said that a toad does not run in the day for nothing.

And in the recent days, the friction within the ruling Jubilee party is not a secret that even a bedroom can hide. The seethes within the Party partners if it is anything to go by, then the rosy days of Jubilee’s honeymoon of the first term have vanished. The days of same white shirts and red twin ties are over. The time of “my brother William” is no more but instead replaced by “huyu”. Perhaps bindu bichechanga-things change.
