The good, the bad and ugly in Uhuru’s demonetisation

In the demonetisation venture, President Uhuru Kenyatta has proved terribly shameless, but surprisingly shrewd and unusually daring.

The shamelessness is in the inclusion of the Kenyatta patriarch on the new bank notes. On the flip side, can he be blamed? The way I see it, Kenyans supporting the removal of Jomo Kenyatta’s ‘likeness’ on the new notes are being dishonest. Given the chance, they themselves would use the opportunity to put their own likeness, let alone their dad’s, on every single denomination.
