Friday was the day to spend the loot stolen from taxpayers. For top government officials, county bosses and parastatal managers, it was the day to share the proceeds of graft, buy palatial houses and drive out of their homes in luxury cars that would easily betray their quick riches.

It was also the day some would be learning how to play golf at clubs in Nairobi while tasting the finer things in life. Some would be flying to the coast for private getaways with briefcases full of cash to squander and plan for their next hit.
